Episode 16: Boxes of Hope with Emily Copeland - Emily's Story and the gift of a Hope Box

"I had to remind myself of the love of the Lord, of the goodness of the Lord, of His faithfulness. Even when I wasn't feeling it, looking to the Lord daily, sometimes minute by minute…turn to the Lord because He is so good and He is so faithful and He will meet you right where you're at in your journey." -Emily Copeland Kristin Hernandez is joined by Emily Copeland to talk about Hope Boxes and the incredible impact a small gift can have on the life of a newly bereaved mother.
