Loving your enemies.
Do you have anyone in your life who you feel like you are just allowed to dislike? You know, that person who has hurt you more than anyone else has.

The beauty of extravagance.
I love Christmas. I have always loved it. I love the traditions, the church services, the million nativity scenes that decorate my house. I love the feeling of warmth and gratefulness, the hope that penetrates every inch of my twinkling home. Once our tree goes up and fills the house with the nostalgic scent of Continue reading
