Grace in Small Things

I read a fair number of blogs (yep, I'm THAT type of person!).  I recently came across a link to "Grace in Small Things" and its message really resonated with me.

Essentially, the message it promotes is: "Grace in Small Things exists because we are choosing not to allow the noisiness of life to rob us of the time and energy to be mindful of ourselves and those we love and to recognize the grace that exists in small things."


So in the spirit of this, I will be randomly posting about where I find grace.


1)  Coffee in the morning

2)  Peeking in on my sleeping children right before I go to bed

3)  A re-discovered love of reading

4)  The coolness in the air that signals the beginning of fall

Feel free to do this yourself.  It's amazing how easy it is to focus on and be overwhelmed by all the negatives in our lives, and yet simply acknowledging the positive is often overlooked.

More to come as I become inspired!
