G is for Grace
Grace is invisible, yet palpable. It is something that can be observed in its outward expressions and it is even more notable in its absence.
Grace is a power that comes in and transforms a moment into something better. ~ Caroline Myss
We are suspicious of grace. We are afraid of the very lavishness of the gift. ― Madeleine L’Engle
It is unearned love–the love that goes before, that greets us on the way. It’s the help you receive when you have no bright ideas left, when you are empty and desperate and have discovered that your best thinking and most charming charm have failed you. Grace is the light or electricity or juice or breeze that takes you from that isolated place and puts you with others who are as startled and embarrassed and eventually grateful as you are to be there. ~ Anne Lamott
