Some gifts are obvious, coming wrapped in glittering paper with colourful bows, but others can be easily overlooked when our hearts and minds are preoccupied by the busyness of life. Friendship, acceptance, love, faith.... All the things that make life truly worth living are gifts to be cherished and accepted wholeheartedly.
For those struggling in life, in poverty, hardship, or mental-health crises, these gifts can make all the difference. With God's love, aided by those who offer assistance and care to those in need, we can all recognize and be comforted by the sheer joy of belonging.
Wild Flowers: Longing for Belonging is a collection of poems, stories, insights, and songs that showcase our human need for connection and acceptance, as well as the importance of being open to both receiving assistance and offering it to others in need.
