What If More Is Happening Than You Can See?
Our youngest daughter has the use of her right arm, but almost nothing else. She gets around in an electric wheelchair, maneuvering it with a simple knob — and she does it with remarkable ease.

“#11 Look for little ways to delight him. Be mindful of those small preferences of his. My husband likes his coffee cup warmed up before pouring. He has a certain way he likes his t-shirts folded (yes, I’m serious). He likes it when we go to bed at the same time. They might be tiny details, but they say something big to him. What about your guy?”

“My figurative position of confidence before Him, as a daughter in whom He delighted, was one long exhalation of relief. I didn’t earn this position; I inherited it, and that made my safety all the more secure, no matter His response. The ability He gave me to ask started, first, with Him.
