About this episode
Karen Smith reflects on her wedding anniversary and shares the story of her late husband, Hugh F. Smith, emphasizing love, healing, and gratitude.
Sometimes, we get so scattered by the craziness of life, the never-ending projects, and the habit of saying "yes" to everyone we miss the beautiful masterpiece God has already put right in front of us!!! This week, I’m coming to you with a pop-up episode recorded on May 15th my wedding anniversary to my beloved late husband, Hugh F. Smith. Today, I open my heart to share the story of how Hugh walked into my life after a deeply painful first marriage that left me feeling broke, rejected, and unworthy. Hugh taught me what it means to be truly respected, celebrated, and loved just for being me!!!Today is all about honoring his memory, celebrating the incredible blessings in our family, and learning to slow down long enough to see the how God is working on in our lives.
