For grace to be grace, it must give us things we didn't know we needed and take us places where we didn't know we didn't want to go. As we stumble through the crazily altered landscape of our lives, we find that God is enjoying our attention as never before.
We can't give our children the future, strive though we may to make it secure. But we can give them the present.
The often heard lament, 'I have so little time,' gives the lie to the delusion that the daily is of little significance.
If we are lucky, we can give in and rest without feeling guilty. We can stop doing and concentrate on being.
