Presentation Description:
Conversations about circumstances like surprise pregnancy, terminal diagnosis, and the sanctity of life frequently become uncomfortable, complicated, and emotional. What if every exchange about life issues ended with a smile and led to a hug? By remembering that life issues affect people, that their resolutions must come from outside of us, and that life itself is God’s own smile, we can offer smiles and hugs even amid difficulty.
