The Gift of God’s Goodness
God is good. God is good when we don’t feel good. God is good when our plans don’t go as expected. God is good when life is chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting. God is good when life is boring, monotonous, and gloomy. God is good when there seems to be no light at the end of…

The Gift of Hills
Whenever someone would tell me I was beautiful, I used to really take it to heart. In fact, I still do. Who doesn’t want to hear those words? As I’ve gotten older, though, there’s something that I long to hear even more than that. “I see God in you.” There is no higher compliment. When…

The Gift of an Old Thing
That old air conditioner at our old building was giving out. All the nurses and aides had to commute to our sister building—the new building. I stood next to the young girl and helped buckle our patients onto the van for our commute. I don’t like to compare myself to others, but there I found…

The Gift of Rest
Come to me, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28) God had been trying to reach me lately, but I ignored His calls.
