The Gift of Coming Home
No matter how long I’m gone away from home, I can always count on one thing: there’s someone inside that absolutely cannot wait to see me. The truth is, I don’t like traveling without Sassy. I wouldn’t be able to enjoy myself as I would be constantly preoccupied with wondering what she was thinking and…

The Gift of a Hummingbird
I saw my first hummingbird of the year the other morning. I was starting think they weren’t going to show up this season, but I kept putting the nectar out, even though I felt a little silly. If you know me, you know I love birds, especially hummingbirds. I love them so much, I’ll continue…

The Gift of a God Thing
I saw something recently that shockingly would change the entire trajectory of my life and my heart. There before my eyes was a photo of an autism awareness tee shirt. I loved that tee, and I had to have it! This tee shirt was a very good thing for me—good message, good color, good design.…

The Gift of a Bad Day
I met someone online recently. Well, we didn’t exactly meet, but we FaceTimed for hours. This man was too good to be true, everything I thought I was looking for. The day after our little phone date, I woke up early as usual and curled up in my prayer chair with my favorite blanket and…

The Gift of Rock Solid Faith
Some time ago, my mom handed me a piece of computer paper with a neatly typed essay on it, an essay I had written my freshman year of college titled “Facts are Fluid; Faith is Rock Solid” As a 19 year old, I developed a fascination with Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” and was inspired…

The Gift of a Blessing
Something happened the other day that would forever change me as a human. It was Friday evening after a long week of work; I was starving, and all I wanted was to pick up my food and go home. A woman, holding her debit card as she was exiting, stopped me on my way inside…

The Gift of God’s Steadfast Love
Every time I pass Olive Street, I’m reminded of the resiliency of the olive tree. Olive trees are extraordinarily tough, equipped to handle subzero temperatures, drought, frost, and even fire. Their roots are so strong they can regrow even when it seems there is no visible hope. In a way, God’s love for us is…
