Moments of Grace

Gratitude List Edition…

::a mentor who answers questions like a friend

::a friend who takes notice of how I’m doing

::a family who provided an after baby meal {with chocolate cake}…4 weeks after the baby

::a friend loaning me a recumbent stationary bike to try before I buy

::children who make me laugh

::a 13 year old who stretches me to become better

::a husband who works enough overtime to equal another weeks pay

::a husband who has done the soccer practice and game shuffle for the past month

::big sisters and brothers always willing to hold the baby

::food crumbs on the baby’s head from all the kisses he gets from the 3 year old

::He has Risen! a Church that continues the Easter celebration

The beginning of the week starts in a flurry of things to do, places to go and people to see. The middle of the week is the push to get to the end of the week and the end of the week promises at least some respite. It’s in this end, this temporary intermission between the week and the weekend that we can pause, if only for moment and appreciate the moments of grace the week brought us.
