St. Francis de Sales was a 16th-century spiritual master who teaches us to reject fear and embrace the crosses in life. This saint reminds us not to worry about tomorrow, for the God who cares for us today will also care for us every day. St. Francis de Sales draws our attention back to what we know to be true: worry is useless and we cannot escape suffering in this life. But take heart, he also tells us, for our God offers us unfailing strength in every hardship we encounter.
Our podcast & reflection for today is by slacker Sefanit Stefanos, a Contributor to the Little With Great Love Team.Sefanit is a seeker of Truth, wife, and mom to two sweet little boys and favorite sister and friend. Originally from Eritrea, born in Rome, and raised in Dallas, Texas, her upbringing in an Eritrean-American home shaped her worldview, which taught her that she is part of a greater community. Her joy is being with family and friends, especially cooking and baking them real food, as she loves making people feel at home in her presence. Her calling in life is to introduce others to the generous love of God that she has experienced.
She enjoyed traveling and experiencing new cultures before this new and very full stage of her life; hopefully, the future holds more blogging and new travels with a bigger crew. She experienced the best of both worlds as a graduate of Texas A&M and Franciscan University and has worked in full-time ministry for more than ten years. Sefanit lives in Dallas with her husband and kids, and you'll find her seeking joy and gratitude amidst changing diapers and cleaning food off the walls.
