In today’s episode, we covered a broad range of topics with Hillary Smiley including practicing gratitude and finding the gifts in the everyday moments of this life.

"Anything, if offered to God, can and will become your gateway to joy." -Elisabeth Elliot

That's a quote that Hillary Smiley uses as a touchstone. She is a photographer based in Los Angeles and has been married for 15 years. They have four children, the oldest is thirteen and the youngest, aged four. Their third child, ten-year old Luke, was born with chromosomal and brain abnormalities and the rarest form of a rare syndrome. Despite the challenges that come with being a special needs parent, Hillary regularly looks for and counts the gifts that God has given her, especially in the often missed, everyday moments of life.
