Ray shares about his son Asa, whose name means healer. Though the healing they once prayed for hasn’t come in the way they expected, Ray reflects how Asa carries a quiet kind of healing, bringing joy into rooms and softening hearts with a simple “hi.” In loving his son, Ray began to see the heart of the Father: not looking for perfect words, but simply for us to come.
