I can hardly put into words what this little book, Always Forever, has become in the hands of God.

Last week, I received a message from an incredible human being who asked to purchase one of my books. She wondered if I would mail it directly and if I’d sign it before I sent it. I said of course, and then asked what the occasion was.

That’s when my heart broke 💔.

She explained it was for a mother currently in hospice care… and her small child. I paused, and in that moment, I felt the weight of what I was being asked to do.

Just a week ago, I shared about another parent who purchased this book after losing their child and how it now holds a completely different meaning for me. I am seeing it through new eyes.

It amazes me how God takes something that was simply a healing labor of love for me and turns it into something far bigger than I ever dreamed. He is using it as a bridge between earth and eternity.

I don’t personally know the family I mailed this book to, but I am humbled and honored to be invited into their sacred space. I’ve always told my students, “I love you, and I don’t have to know you to love you.” Today, I feel that same way about the parents and children holding this book.

Please pray for this precious child who is sitting beside their mother, ushering her into the arms of Jesus. I was told she is still alert enough to write a letter to her child in the back of my book. That thought both breaks me and fills me with gratitude.

Thank You, Lord, for using my small offering in such a beautiful and deeply meaningful way.

Always Forever.
