As we said grace over her birthday meal, I realized that this is the true definition of grace: A family steered away from worldly competition and grounded in eternal hope, all because one woman decided to follow Jesus and pray for her children.

In China’s freight industry, husband-and-wife trucking teams are common. Yet for one couple, the work looks very different. While the husband drives alone, his wife—seriously ill and unable to live independently—travels with him, relying on his constant care throughout every journey.

My uncle’s conversion to Christianity came naturally. After retiring, he began attending church with my aunt and soon became a core member of the congregation. Skilled in musical notation and piano, he also led the choir in hymns.
