The Gift of Presence

The gift of presence, the value of showing up not only in times of celebration and suffering but also even in ordinary moments, when we just need someone to dance with us, to sing along with us, to dine with us, to converse with us, to sit and to listen with us and to connect with us.

Hope in Jesus

This Christmas, I'm reminded of Him in the manger, sobbing like a typical infant while being swaddled in clothes. Giving us hope, reassuring us that He also comes in small, not to impress but rather to serve, as a constant reminder of His incredible love for us offers us peace, joy, and hope.

When God helps; He sends the right people.

God touches hearts; He sends people who are going to help us. Sometimes these are the people whom we least expect to show up in trying times or people whom we even don’t know but still offer help. It’s so amazing, God works in unexpected ways but still right on time.
