Storytelling has a long and rich legacy in human history. In moments where many of us feel isolated or the world feels painfully divided, shared stories are a unique way we can find connection and solace with one another. The season of Advent opens the doors wide for memories to be relived, tales to be spun, and the light of Christmas to be rediscovered in Jesus. As we faithfully engage in this season of waiting, we can more intentionally turn our hearts to the stories that remind us of God’s great love. We can seek joy, rediscover peace, and listen more fully to the Holy Spirit whispering tales of reassurance and hope.
I’ve read all 10 of Julia’s devotions from cover to cover. It is expected of the father of the author, but it was and is a true joy to live these parts of life. Each devotional gives me pause to look at my life and search for the Love God has bestowed upon me. Thank you for these gifts.
