“I had to remind myself of the love of the Lord, of the goodness of the Lord, of His faithfulness. Even when I wasn't feeling it, looking to the Lord daily, sometimes minute by minute…turn to the Lord because He is so good and He is so faithful and He will meet you right where you're at in your journey.” -Emily Copeland
Kristin Hernandez is joined by Emily Copeland to talk about Hope Boxes and the incredible impact a small gift can have on the life of a newly bereaved mother. Emily shares her personal story of losing her son, Caleb, and how God worked through this heartbreaking experience to create a platform to share Christ with others who are deeply grieving. Kristin and Emily talk about Hope Boxes, how to send one to a friend, how to host a Box Gathering, and tips for creating connections with local hospitals.
Emily Copeland lives in central Texas with her husband, Josh, and four living children. She is Hope Mom to her son Caleb. Emily is the Box Ministry Coordinator for Hope Mommies and founder of the Central Texas Chapter.
