"But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ's gift." Ephesians 4:7
one day
grace is sitting
on the floor reading
a book to preschoolers,
and the next day
playing the piano
helping the memories
of aging friends to
begin to blossom.
one moment
grace sneaks up
behind us to tickle
us until we roar
with unstoppable joy
and the next minute
wraps its arms tight
around us as our tears
flow from our broken hearts.
once in a while
grace nudges us to
take a risk and high dive
into spending time with
folks who make us uncomfortable
but always, in all ways,
grace takes a risk on us
refusing to ever
turn its back on us.
