Wake up in the morning and open your eyes wide. See the beauty in the world, smile and give thanks. See the ugly in the world, weep; then refuse to let it win. Do this and a life will be lived.

falling back to grace

Life is temporary. Love is not. There is something more than dust to dust.

Again and again, I get carried away by pride. Fear knocks me down. Shiny objects distract me from the truth.

I get lost.

Then, I stop. I remember. There is a path for me. There is more to life than me.

I am here to serve.

When my thoughts and actions reflect my purpose, I feel peace.

So again and again, I come back to where I belong. I surrender to grace. I welcome the love that heals me.
