Sacred Life Sunday ~ A Wish of Grace

Profound grace paid me a visit on a bar stool last night.  And while he noticed my tears and questioned their cause, it was a moment of reckoning and self-forgiveness for me.  As I sat across from a man I once loved very much, I was struck by how far we have come from where we have been together.  There was so much hurt and anger between us a few years back that I wondered if we could ever be friends again.   The capacity we all have to hurt the ones we love is astonishing.  We also have the capacity to let love heal us. Being able to say "I'm sorry" and "Thank You" and "I love you" with just a look after all these years touched me deeply.  Thank you for looking back at me, Rick.

On this Sacred Sunday, I send a wish of grace to visit you, dear reader, when you least expect it and need it most.

It is funny how someone you don't know who lives somewhere else can say something that is somehow parallel with what you yourself are dealing with.
