from O.Easter
"Dear God,
Thank you for your gift of Timone. Thank you for her contributions to the Church, the Tolton Program, and all she has taught.
Please continue to give her grace upon grace as she works to open people's minds to know you more deeply.
Please grant her good health and strength. All this I ask in Jesus' name."
I don't often think of myself as "gift". I struggle like many people with my value and worth. Then God's AMAZING grace washes over me and I realize I am made in the image and likeness of God and therefore, I am gift. I am working my way toward the understanding that my imperfections reflect not my shortcomings, but serve as reminders of how much I need God in my life.
These days, I'm working to invite God into my shortcomings instead of berating myself for their existence. When God is invited in, AMAZING GRACE transforms our shortcomings into ways to see more clearly, love more deeply.
Each of us is GIFT. Let's treat each other with the excitement that comes with giving and receiving a gift.
Blessings.
