What does love look like when there’s no chance of “thank you” in return? In this heartfelt reflection, I explore the quiet, sacred power of final acts of love—drawing from the lives of Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, King David, and the wisdom passed down by my father. Love doesn’t die with the body. It keeps giving—even in silence.
My mother once dreamed of building a house with a chapel in it—a sacred room set apart for family worship and prayer. We never built that chapel—but our living room became one. With worship, prayer, and intention, we created a space where God met us. This post is a reminder that sacred spaces aren’t always built—they’re made by hearts that seek Him, whether in a closet, a corner, or over cornflakes.
You watered the dream. You waited through the dry seasons. Then finally, something shows—only it’s not what you hoped for. It’s sour. Disappointing. And you’re ready to walk away. But what if the sweetest part of your story is just “one year” away? Before you cut down your “orange tree,” read this.

It started with a simple question from my daughter during devotion: “Mommy, why are you pressing your phone?”
She didn’t see that I was reading the Bible—she just saw another screen. That moment stirred something in me. I realized that even though my digital Bible was convenient, it wasn’t sending the message I wanted to pass down. So, I made a shift. It’s not the most convenient choice, but it’s a deeply intentional one—because my children are watching. And this “inconvenient” change? It’s shaping their faith in ways I pray will last a lifetime.

“Jesus wept.” These two words in John 11:35 have carried me through some of the heaviest moments of my life—especially after losing my father. They remind me that even Jesus, knowing resurrection was moments away, paused to grieve. His tears weren’t weakness; they were love made visible. In my own season of mourning, I found comfort in His example and in the promise of the Holy Spirit to comfort us. Grief, I’ve come to realize, is not just heavy—it’s holy. And in our tears, we are never alone.
