Grace

The Monday after a long holiday weekend can carry so many stories. We never really know how someone is walking into their week, so today, a reminder of grace.

Grace for the person who felt the empty chair at the table.

Grace for the one who didn’t hold their boundaries and gave more than they had.

Grace for the person whose holiday looked picture perfect and is overflowing with joy.

Grace for the crabby, exhausted person who is doing their best to focus.

Grace for the ones who are overwhelmed, tender, quiet, or just trying to make it through the day.

And grace for you too, for wherever you are and however you feel as you begin this week.
