Walk it Out #157: Beyond the White Picket Fence with Sheri Rose Shepherd
The white picket fence is often thought of as a symbol to represent the American dream, but actually, there was a different purpose for this icon. During World War II, the military was running out of ammunition. To help in the effort, Americans dismantled their wrought iron fences so they could be melted down and used as ammunition to defeat the enemy. The white picket fence was put up in its place to show a family’s willingness to do whatever it took to fight for America’s freedoms.
Have you been looking at the white picket fences in your life all wrong? Have you been wanting a “happy ever after” only to discover that real life is more about sacrifice in the midst of hard times? You’re not alone. Today’s guest Sheri Rose Shepherd shares how God has taken the broken pieces of her life and has brought healing. Now she hopes her words can help rebuild the lives of others who have faced devastating circumstances. Tune in to today’s show to learn how our invisible God can become most visible when he is our only hope.
