Last year — and especially the past couple of months — were challenging at Stepping Stones. But by God’s grace, we were able to celebrate Jesus’ birthday this year — the second time since our foundation.
One of the most amazing things for me was seeing that, compared to last year, we had twice as many spectators. Seeing parents, grandmas, and grandpas there was incredibly encouraging.
But what touched us the most was this: it truly felt like one big family. Yes, it was noisy — but it was filled with joy, love, and a genuinely positive spirit.
This year, the theme of our program was “This Little Light of Mine.” Life has tested our faith, our patience, and the way we treat others. It is often easy to say, “God, it is hard to love these people. It is hard to keep trusting Your plan. I give up.”
But then we remember Mother Teresa’s words: the way we treat others is not really about them, nor about how we respond to life’s hardships — it is about us, and whether we allow God to shine through us.
So moving forward, we choose to be the light in this world — to shine with kindness, grace, and love, even when it is difficult. ✨
Have a blessed week everyone!
