But as the package left her grip, it snagged on one of the gate spikes, tearing an opening and sending its contents onto the gravel . Her well-intended, love-filled offering spilled in seeming waste. Would her brother even notice her gift? Would it accomplish the mission of hope she’d intended? She can only hope and pray as she waits his healing.

I have personally seen wonderful transformations in people's lives through their acceptance of God's great gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.... including my own. And it is ongoing for His children as He works for good in our lives. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
