5 things I did right today

I visited Donny

during the Wake for his mother

and I tried to comfort and connect with him.

I fed our dog.

I went to the gym.

I did recovery work for my muscles.

Five things I’m

grateful for the leader unchained group.

I’m grateful for the men who

reached out to me

after it.

I am grateful for

Gilbert, Gill, who through God’s

grace alone reached out to me this morning. I’m grateful

for God’s work in my life. I am

grateful for God’s work in

his life.

I am grateful for the human connections and

growth that I feel God is doing in my life.

Grace begins

grace begins with

sorrow, repent and turn away.

The Undeserved given gifts

received in pain and joy.

Pain at the separation,

     Joy at the renewal of connection

and relation.

//

Grace begins with reaching out 

     hope for reaching back.

//

Grace begins with joy and love, 

     with bowing and delight,

     with faith and hope and trembling,

     and in the deepest sight.

Grace begins with blood, 

     for I am dearly bought
