I wish I’d gotten a degree in engineering.
My friend Kelsey and I just spent 3 hours making a 15-second video to announce the release of James: What You Do Matters 5 Session Bible study today.
Hot cider. Homemade treats. Music in the air. A dusting of snow. A brightly lit tree. The giggles of children. The lighting of the candles. The carving of the meat. The scents and sounds of the holiday season lunge and linger.
Yet for some, the holidays are painful.
Confession: I’ve given a lot of unused gifts in my life. I know because I’ll see them collecting dust in a friend’s drawer, suddenly disappear from their house forever, or notice it was never activated or unpackaged.
I bet it’s happened to you, too.
But there’s one gift we can give this holiday season that our loved ones long for–and (surprise), it won’t cost you a dime.
I woke up this morning praying for you. Sometimes ya’ll are just on my heart in ways I can’t quite explain.The following story came to mind, and I sense you or someone you know might need to hear it.
A few years ago, I wrote a book about joy where I tell the story of returning to the chemo ward for yet another brutal round of treatment. It was more than I could handle.
Something is burning in my heart that one of you needs to hear and be encouraged by.
Maybe your Thanksgiving gathering is perfect–no conflict, no issues, no concerns. If so, Whoohoo You! 🍗🎁
