When someone we love is hurting, sometimes it’s a struggle to find the right words to say and the best way to help. We want to help, but when the needs are large, the grief is heavy, or we’re far away, we can feel helpless to know how to offer comfort to those we love. This is why I’m really excited to be partnering with Hopebox.com for the month of June. Hopebox is a Christian organization that puts together “boxes of hope” each month, filled with quality items that offer a tangible way to say, “I care and I see you”. The contents change each month, but they often include items such as handmade candles, organic treats, notecards, high quality skincare, coffee mug, tea bags, and more. This month, I’m so excited to share that the box will also include a copy of Hope When It Hurts!
Do you have someone who could use a box of hope? It isn’t only for those who are hurting (ie. it can be a great birthday gift as well!), but it is a tangible way to let someone know that you’re thinking of them, praying for them, and that you truly care. To learn more about how to send a box, you can visit Hopebox.com. Below are some of the items that are included in this months box. Feel free to comment if you have any questions!
Happy June!

I'm a stay-at-home mom of four kids, sixteen and under, and have been continually learning in deeper ways what it means to follow Jesus Christ - no matter the cost. I'm the co-author of He Gives More Grace: 30 Reflections for the Ups and Downs of Motherhood (Dec 1, 2023), Hope When It Hurts: Biblical Reflections to Help Your Grasp God's Purpose in Your Suffering, Together Through the Storms: Biblical Encouragements For Your Marriage When Life Hurts, the author of an evangelistic resource, Tears and Tossings: Hope in the Waves of Life, and a forthcoming children's book, The Long Road Home: A Tale of Two Sons and a Father's Never-Ending Love (Crossway, 2024).
My husband and I have been given the unique calling of walking through long and layered trials within our family (special needs, Lyme Disease, job loss, financial loss, chronic pain, and more). However, as we seek Christ and learn to lean on him through every struggle, we are being strengthened, molded, and learning to be more satisfied in him alone. I am learning deep truth's of God's Word and hope to encourage and challenge others through what He has been teaching my family and me through this valley. May he alone be glorified in and through my words.
