To Be Real

While driving with my daughter to an appointment this week we listened to an audio book from the library called, “Kisses from Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption” by Katie J. Davis. The author is a young woman in her early twenties who is wise beyond her years. Waaay more wise if you ask me. She has figured out how to find real joy and happiness by losing herself in the service of God.  She is serving “the least of these.”

When she shared the story of the The Velveteen Rabbit and compared it with her life, I knew immediately that it also applies to all mothers (and fathers) who sincerely devote their lives to the rearing of righteous families.
