Main Takeaways

· From Wendi, “I just love with this story. The fact that it just shows so much care and compassion that Christ has for each and every one of us. . .[that] people are not going to get and understand those those special sacred things in our lives. But that Jesus gets us. He gets us, He knows us, he understands us, and he sees our faith.”

· From Tamara, “I love the faith of this little family, and how they chose Jesus. They chose Jesus, that was a conscious choice: We choose Jesus at this pivotal moment. And I think that's a great example for all of us. And so, yeah, seek him out in your pivotal moments, in your daily moments. Seek Jesus.”
