That's Grace
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!
