I want to express my gratitude to you all for being with me through this. Even though I didn't respond individually to your messages of support and caring left as comments on my various blogposts, I want you to know I have read and re-read them, and they mean so very much to me. If I could, I would give each of you a hug, for I truly do appreciate your friendship -- and I hope that I can someday be a support to you, even at long distance, as you have been to me.
Grace -- that has been a word and a concept that I have been mulling over, reflecting on, growing with, as the time goes by. One of my online acquaintances in another online community has used "grace" and "graceful" in connection with Mum and her transition from this life, and in connection with the season of Christmas and my experience of it this year, and her use of that word has touched me deeply.
In my on-going ponderings on grace and gratitude, our minister shared with me this song by U2. The words I'm particularly finding meaningful at the moment are "Grace finds beauty in everything", "Grace finds goodness in everything".
Grace and peace to you, my friends... always.
Hey.
ReplyDeleteI, too, want to hold you very gently and share something light and "easy" (as in my burden is light and my yoke is easy...) with you. Instead, you did that for me with this video. Thank you. I like U2. Every time I hear something by them, I am uplifted. I haven't ever sought out their music, though. It finds me. For right now, I'm fine with that. {Hugs}
