Kalpesh’s Quotes

“In early mornings
when the alarm rings
but my bones feel like bricks.

 In lunchboxes packed with love and leftovers
. In reports sent before the deadline,
even when my mind is clouded with worry
. In boardrooms where I speak up even if my voice shakes.
 In hugs given with tired arms. In “yes, baby?” when I want to say “not now.” 

That’s ministry. ”
