Moments of Grace

I told you about my Thursday.

Let me show you my Monday.

“There is something in us, as storytellers and as listeners to stories, that demands the redemptive act, that demands that what falls at least be offered the chance to be restored.”
–Flannery O’Connor

Join us each Friday as we dig a little deeper into the week that just passed. You know the one–the one just seemed to fly by…or drag on and on with no relief or end in sight. It’s in this digging or sifting, depending on the week we’ve had, that we begin to harvest the grace. We may pull a moment from here or there…hold it up to the light and see the hand of God written all over what we thought only ordinary.

We begin to see the mundane as magnificent…The repetitious as rare moments of time…The everyday as exceptional.

And we pause, lift our eyes, minds and hearts…and say “Thank you.”

Link up or join us in the comments. Share a story, poem, gratitude list or single photo. Show us God’s amazing grace in your life. And then take the time to visit or comment the other lovely ladies.

Welcome! I’m Jenny, the administrator of Suscipio and author of The Catholic Child’s Teaching Bible©. I have been married to Chris 20 years, strictly by the grace of God. We have seven precious souls from teen to baby. I hope my personal contribution to Suscipio shows what my life really looks like; It’s messy and beautiful and blessed beyond measure.

So sorry to hear about the events last week. I was a little late in catching up the reading. It is such a hard thing to have to do. It reminded me of years in Tulsa, and up on the hill. I’m still debating about adding little lap pup to our home after losing Gretchen last summer. I guess I’ll know when the time’s right.

What a sweet little pup!! That may be the cutest little face I have ever seen on a dog. I am sorry that you went through such a rough transition, but, happy to see that you were all able to pull through. Have a very blessed weekend, Jenny!

What a cute little fluff ball!! I am glad when one door closed, God saw your pain and immediately opened another. All the best for the weekend too Jenny. We have been so so sick this week I was glad to see it end!
