GRACE: Kindness, favor, mercy, benevolence, leniency, blessing, honor, beautify
I said to my sister-friend the other day that grace comes from everywhere. Since then it is like I am so much more aware of the abundance of GRACE provided in life. Today began with a violent cry. I think that is everything in that category! I went to work and found delight in children today. Children are a balm of GRACE.
To continue with that child/balm/GRACE theme, it is Thursday. Thursday has a rhythm in my life. It is my day I eat the same lunch. Every Thursday I have grilled catfish, macaroni & cheese and mashed potatoes, extra tartar hold the cocktail sauce. After work I load up my dog and drive to see my college student son. I cook a homemade meal. I meet him at his apartment and we eat together. We do nothing special. We just remember we love each other. He is my baby so we have a close relationship. He is the most soothing thing I have ever known in my life. Children are a balm of GRACE.
When I got home I decided to listen to some music. I had a little playlist that includes songs that I have sat and listened to with my sister-friend. I wasn’t sure I could do it this evening, but I did and as has been the habit I found layer upon layer of GRACE in the songs of Carolyn Wonderland and Guy Forsyth. I hope you dear reader will connect to the link and watch this amazing song. It caught me deep when he sang those feelings from his heart. I can’t really share that; it is a little close to the bone. I am not even sure I can really look at it right now. But I know this wonderful song; about the awe found in a daughter gave me peace. Children are a balm of GRACE.
What I know is today, children have held me.
This song- This artist made me smile, when I was struggling to do so.
I am thankful for those things that can soothe me and hope the universe will continue to fling these little life preservers my way.
