It felt like God gave me a gentle kiss on the forehead.

This morning I was waiting for the ALS Advocacy conference to begin and in walked Chrissie, my sister from another mister. We embraced for a moment longer than last year as we silently acknowledged that Karen wasn’t with us. 

Then Chrissie exclaims, “I have something for you!” and hands me a tiny pillow. “This was Karen’s and I want you to have it.” 


Karen found comfort by resting her motionless hands on this soft pillow that Chrissie made for her. I took one look at the pillow and knew God  was in this. 


The anchor on the pillow is identical to the anchor on my recent foot tattoo. Coincidence? I don’t think so. 

I knew seeing my Delaney sisters for the first time since Karen’s passing was going to bring a host of emotions. What I wasn’t expecting was God showing up in something so little, yet so huge. 

God shows up in the little things to bring us comfort and peace. Be on the look out for the big gifts that Show up in small packages. 

I’m Forgiven and Free and thanking God for the little things
