The Gift of the Little Things
He tried his best to get those two little blocks to fit together, but just couldn’t do it. He began to cry and throw a tantrum right there on the floor. My heart broke as I wanted so badly to just do it for him. My aide said gently but firmly,“Don’t do it, Kamille. He…

The Gift of Color
My all time favorite question to ask someone has always been “What’s your favorite color?” Someone’s favorite color says so much about them. I have the hardest time choosing just one, and I used to really dislike that about myself. I’ve learned to love and accept that little quirk. Maybe, it’s the artist in me.…

The Gift of a Childlike Faith
Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was absolutely terrified of bad weather—thunder, lightening, and especially tornados. One spring night, tornado warnings flooded the television as a storm raged outside the windows of her home. In the midst of the storm, the little girl fell asleep. When she woke up, she was…

The Gift of Peace
True peace is a priceless gift; you are rich when you have it. There is an old saying: “If it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive.” Nothing is worth your peace—no job, no romantic relationship, no friendship, not even family.

In the midst of all the storms lately, I have been thinking about the gift of rain. Without rain, the flower will never grow. Without rain, we cannot truly appreciate sunshine. Without rain, we cannot have the rainbow. Hardships, like rain, serve a purpose—without experiencing them, we will not learn how to overcome them. Without…

The Gift of Prayer: Life Lessons From a Ladybug
The sermon at church today was one I won’t ever forget. Our pastor preached on a topic very near and dear to my heart, as it should be to anyone who desires a relationship with God. He talked about prayer. There were three key instructions he gave us today related to prayer. The first one…

The Gift of Dreams
“Let her sleep, for when she wakes, she will move mountains.” unknown It all started with my dreams. I don’t mean my faith, as I was raised to be a Christian, but my journey towards my relationship with Christ. This is crucial, because what so many people don’t realize, is true Christianity isn’t about religion;…

The Gift of a Guarded Heart
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:23) If you know me, you know I love to collect rocks. I like to take them from places and times I want to remember, and I usually paint them. This is a rock from one of my favorite hiding places.…

The Gift of Obedience
As chapter two came to a close on that perfect cool and sunny afternoon in the forest, I couldn’t help but glance at the title of chapter three—“More Than Listening”. I felt a quickening in my heart and knew it was God. I’m a writer, not a speaker. It’s difficult for me to verbalize my…
