I heard the rain pounding on the roof at 5 am even before I opened my eyes. I kind of smiled to myself as a song lyric floated through my mind:
“Grace, like rain falls down on me.”
It’s from the song Grace Like Rain by Todd Agnew. The song is a cool rendition of Amazing Grace that I heard the other day. I’m glad the morning rain brought it back to mind, on this busy day. Yoga, then off to Boston to pick up Boston daughter and then head to NY for the holiday weekend with the family. I cannot believe I’m going to be driving in Boston traffic at rush hour on the day before Thanksgiving. I’m going to need an amazing amount of amazing grace tonight.
I’m sure you have your holiday rush in full gear by now, too. This is my favorite holiday. Giving gratitude. One of my five major lessons I’ve learned this year. In our rush, crush, of traffic and shopping let us not lose sight of all we have to give gratitude for. I’ve heard it said that the more we give gratitude, the more we will be given. This held true for me this past year. I have miracles both big and small to cherish and hold close, I have friends that I will never be able to thank enough for standing by me when I was literally crazy, I have a family that is safe and intact, and I have a closer relationship with God that was home grown by His very own hand in my life for eleven months. A girl couldn’t ask for more on this holiday.
And so, as another holiday is about to go by, time to jump in the car and sing “Hallelujah, grace like rain, falls down on me”, and….I have written.
