Surrounded by Grace

“The goal of all our undertakings should be not so much a task perfectly completed as the accomplishment of God’s will…”
St. Therese of Lisieux

My sweet Mary Elizabeth…I miss you everyday and love you to heaven and back…Thank you for the butterflies… 9-3-98~9-4-98

The mention of my child’s name may bring tears to my eyes,
but it never fails to bring music to my ears.
If you are really my friend, let me hear the beautiful music of her name.
It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul.

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link  to your ‘moment’ here in the comments for all to find and see.

One last thought…

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
