I only know you as the “trail angel” who brought water and thoughtful nourishing snacks to our Saturday hike, but I so appreciate the gift you are sharing and how it opens my eyes and heart to be able to share a small part of your journey. Thanks for this.
Thank you so much for your kind words. They are yet another confirmation to me of God's everywhere-and-always conversation with each of us. The conversation that begins with "I am with you," continues with, "I delight in you," and never, ever, ever ends - even when, and perhaps especially, when it's hardest to hear.
I wonder how you might know you are somebody's heart/mind? I met a new and immediately dear friend from the academy yesterday. Naturally I thought of you, which might be the same as remembering you in grateful prayer. I think so, and hope you might.
Chris. Your writing always challenges my view of the world around me and what people are going through of which I have no idea and usually no understanding of. I was blessed to go to Barcelona this past fall. It is now one of my favorite places so I see why it was Abi’s. Thanks for continuing to allow us to walk this road with you. Much love and appreciation.
As always, your words are very encouraging, and a compelling reminder of the two-way joy of inviting people into our lives, sharing Americano in the afternoon (or tea or whatever), and being willing to admire some of the rocks they brought with them to the coffee shop.
Sometimes it's easy to fall in love with the stuff I keep in my own pack and forget to look to others, where God's image is always right there to behold..
It's what your words invite me to do, and I am grateful for it.
In Love,
Chris
(p.s. And please consider the invitation extended to you.)

This was amazing, Chris. What a piece of writing! Stops-you-in-your-tracks kind of writing.
My friend!
Thank you.

Looking forward to our next discussion. Truly.
