The Greatest Gifts
Truly, the greatest gifts cannot be purchased. I pray it does not take my children as long to figure this out as it did me. As we quickly approach the third week of Advent, I feel as if I have received the most valuable gifts of today.
I do not know if I could even share how I feel at this moment in a way that could really give it justice [...]

A Day on the Railroad as a Family
