“For a small moment I have forsaken you, but with great mercies I will gather you” (Isaiah 54.7 MEV). Ten years ago, my family took a vacation to ski at Beaver Creek in Colorado. One of the days, my husband and our boys skied the mountains. So my four-year-old daughter at the time, Kiki, and I decided to walk the quaint town and check out all the local shops.
