day 244

“When he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced.” Acts 11:23a

in the young girl

painting her room

so that it is hers,

in the couple pressing

hands against opposing

sides of a windowpane

because of the pandemic,

in the gentleness

of a cat curled up

in the lap of loneliness,

we catch a glimpse of

grace

and sing in joy
