Grace is

“The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you.”

― Frederick Buechner

life is a gift

it may not be for the faint of heart,

for dark and terrible things happen,

mistakes are made

but it is a gift!

and with life

comes love

and hope

and grace

grace is the brilliant blue and white of a winter’s morning

steam lifting off the river

in subzero cold

grace is a cat discovering Christmas trees

and chickens on the back deck

grace is deer bedded down

and then sharing a meal with the mares

grace is a smile

a touch

grace is a sense

that we are not alone

that we are never alone

grace is the place

where the Sacred touches us

with compassion and kindness

here is your life

you might never have been

but you are

that too

is

grace
