Infusions of Hope
How Can Celebration Be A Discipline
When we start to live each day looking for ways to celebrate (even amid challenges), we anticipate seeing the good that God is doing. As we share, we may also help others have reason to celebrate. We may discover that a heart of gratitude grows from celebration and strengthens our relationship with God.
When a Kiss Can’t Make It Better
I looked on helplessly as the tears began to spill from my eyes as well. This was going to be a hurt I couldn’t kiss and make better. It was only as I learned to keep my eyes on God and His bigger plan that I found relief.
Make Laughter a Daily Priority – Why and How
Even with chronic illness, we need a spirit of hope and optimism. Making laughter a daily priority helps us to find and keep that spirit.
