Grace and Goodness
Today I am grateful for the hummingbird that graced me with a brief show in our yard this morning.
I am also grateful for connections that transcend understanding.
As I grieve the finality of my sister Mary Jo's life on earth, I am reminded of her presence in many ways. Pictures of a younger, smiling, healthy big sister. Her voice message wishing me a happy birthday last summer, saved on my phone. The vivid memory of holding her hands as I said my goodbyes to her.
I treasure the connections, the memories, her presence that I can still feel. It is all painful and new, but it is also grace and goodness.
Connections of grace and goodness. Look for some today. Create some more.
