When we open our hearts to each other we allow grace to enter. It is as simple as that. And suffering — events that break open the heart — can become the refiner's fire that leaves us fully open to the truth about love and compassion. — Kathleen A. Brehony in Ordinary Grace When the sun rises across the hills, coloring dreams In beautiful – that’s grace When the rain falls gentle from the clouds, Erasing the silence, whispering promises – that’s grace When laughter shadows the darkest doubt, Writing hope on the heart, - that’s grace When poetry prays from starlit skies, lighting the moments With tenderness, a smile, a second chance – that’s grace When dusk is alive with fireflies, glistening in the night, Dancing like autumn leaves or the dandelion seeds Who waft over the memories – that’s grace When rhythms of giggles fall from the ears blessed By young children, those who play like tomorrow Is a promise – that’s grace When feelings stir up so much joy that silence Feels like the sun washing away all the lonely ache, - That’s grace! When the mist moves, unspoken, over the spirit Rustling, gentling every breath – a prayer said, Quivering among the pines and laurels – that is grace When the rainbow soothes away every doubt, A promise made – a promise kept – that’s grace When the music of hope confirms the joy inside, Singing encouragement to the soul – that is grace When the truth is a place that remembers to believe, Inside where the heart needs to see, to complete Every need, there is only faith, belief – that is grace When the sun stirs the spirit to a place of complete peace, And every feeling within brings elation, appreciation For the caress of the breeze, falling lovingly – that is grace When the cerulean sky erases every uncertainty, Declaring the heavens are a place for amity, dreams Coming out, beneath the shadows, serenity – that’s grace Heed the beautiful, the miracles, the wonders of a moment, The heavenly, the spiritual, the blessed who will all agree Tomorrow is not promised, but the hope of eternity – that is grace Just believe – believe and see, recognize the reality – that’s grace Just believe, just believe… that is grace! It will forever be – The greatest blessing God could give to you and me!

I love your poem Gina, and this "Tomorrow is not promised, but the hope of eternity – that is grace Just believe – believe and see, recognize the reality – that’s grace" is indeed a promise of eternity, life everlasting for those who believe in our precious Lord, what comfort and hope, that is indeed grace. Hugs to you, we're praying for you all.
