Freedom isn't free. And the families who live without their hero, they deserve to be honored.

🚨FAMILIES WE SERVE:
🇺🇸Friendly (and likely FINAL) REMINDER:

🙌Believe With Me is creating a devotional to send to all the families we will serve this Christmas. For YOU, by YOU.

📖Here’s the deal- every year we comb through hundreds of books, hoping to find one that will be a fit and an encouragement to families living and surviving after the WORST day of their lives. And while we TRY - not one book has ever felt like it could help carry the weight our families do.

😇So this year - we want YOU to submit a devotional. Maybe it’s a short story. Maybe it’s a phrase your hero used that still echoes and carries you along. Perhaps it’s a scripture, a motto, a reminder that you KNOW is a message from God, from your loved one- that they are STILL a part of your lives. Maybe it’s the legacy. Or some small shred of something that carries you when the waves of grief come rolling. Or even just a “never thought I’d truly smile again, but yesterday James graduated and I realized - I did it!”

❤️Because we believe that the only ones who GET IT, can truly be the encouragement you need this side of eternity. And just reading: “I survived the knock at the door. It’s been 4 years but I have sensed joy and I feel the grief differently”— could be what carries our newer to grief families through in ways other words would fail.

🙏So please - consider submitting your devotional. Your story. Your glimpse into grief and overcoming. Your memory. Your light. Submissions are due June 1st! Give us the name/rank of your hero, a photo (hero photo and family photos allowed!) and all submissions may be edited (for length if necessary) and utilized in our publication - which will hopefully bring joy and encouragement to every family we serve!
