I am so excited about this month’s Box of Blessings. Why am I so excited? I’m excited because it is so meaningful. You’ll see why I think it is so meaningful in a minute…
But first I want to share this month’s theme verse, which comes from Exodus 3:5. To set the stage, Moses was shepherding his father-in-law Jethro’s flock when he encountered the famous burning bush. He of course went over to check it out and that’s when God said the following:
5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
During my direct flight and the 36 hours spent in the hospital witnessing my father's passing, this book became a source of immense comfort and blessing. It allowed me to see the holiness of God in every moment of that difficult journey. From the moment I received the news of my father's fall, I could sense God's presence and His work all around me. I was able to pray with my dad, be there for my grieving family, and truly experience the truth that everywhere is holy. Kara Lawler's beautifully written words taught me to look for God's presence in my life, even in the midst of pain and loss.
