I don’t remember how I found Kara’s blog. What
caught my eye was the title of her book. The
Hardest Peace: Expecting Grace in the Midst of Life’s Hard.
I then found her Facebook page. Mundane Faithfulness.

Kara is dying. And she is dying with grace. She
recently wrote a blog post about Intentional Love.
It was about her daughter’s deliberate gift. A friend of mine once told me that love is a verb. It is something that you “do.” I remember reading Eat, Pray, Love when I was undergoing chemotherapy treatments. Part of Elizabeth Gilbert’s message was not to ask “What can I do for you?” Rather, find out what someone needs, and do it.
That is the gift we can give someone in need; someone who is hurting. The gift of intentional love.
