2020 has been a year of pronounced longing. No matter your enneagram, your political party, race, or loss, we are made to long for something better than this world, and if we’re honest, we feel that deeply right now. That longing will only be found in Jesus. (1/5)

The call to the shepherds, overlooked, filthy, & tired, is the same for us today, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:10 (4/5)

I heard @rayortlund say in a sermon that we “hope” so poorly that we look more like sons of the crucifixion/death; however, we must remember, we are sons of the RESURRECTION. Let us hope accordingly! I need this reminder every day, but I’m especially thankful for it today.

As Tolkien wrote of Lewis (though different in nature), life with you “compensates for much.” Happier every day to be your’s. ❤️

My husband’s heart beats the loudest when he is equipping others to lead, particularly as Christians. Charles commonly challenges our girls & me with, “Love, learn, lead!” I hope this podcast encourages you wherever you are to do the same! ❤️@Charleswsmithjr

No one you meet today, or any day, will be suffering from overencouragement.

When @Charleswsmithjr mentioned the opportunity to move to Kansas City 7.5 yrs ago, this southern girl didn’t know what to think. I quickly found out the majority of KC is not in Kansas (!!), it’s not flat (at all), and Midwesterners are profoundly genuine. (1/2)

Though my southern accent has yet to fade, & lima beans & cornbread are regularly served at our kitchen table...& though I do wish we weren’t quite so landlocked...I’ve never known a city with more heart than KC. And for that, it has mine. Win or lose tomorrow, #GoChiefs!❤️ (2/2)

We introduced the girls to the Newsies two weeks ago. While homeschooling today, one of my girls exclaimed, “I’m almost finished with this PAPE!” 😆

💯. This is becoming one of the most cherished principles to me and for the sake of my own life (and those nearest to me).
The best way to be known for something is to BE something.
Don’t tell me you’re active. Just move your body.
Don’t tell me you’re funny. Just make me laugh.
Don’t tell me you’re caring. Just care.
