Receiving the grace – willingly
Painting: “Rivulet” by Judy Wright
Writing about people helps us to understand them, and understanding them helps us to accept them as part of ourselves. ~ Alice Walker
What we write today slipped into our soul some other day when we were alone and doing nothing. ~ Brenda Ueland

The beauty of spirit will be visible in the presence and actions of souls all around me today. Focusing on and recognizing this is a choice that will be accessible to me throughout the day and help me feel happier, and more hopeful.
Today I remember that real happiness arises from a heart ready to receive – and recognize – the divine grace that’s the source of all life. It offers itself to me in every moment, but requires my willingness to meet it on its own terms.
My yearning for it underlies all my desires, yet a thousand worldly things can distract me from it.
