Memories, important yesterdays, were once todays. Treasure and notice today.

Tradition gives us a sense of solidarity and roots, a knowing there are some things one can count on.

How beautiful it is to learn that Grace isn't fragile, and that in the family of God we can fail and not be a failure.

With each new experience of letting God be in control, we gain courage and reinforcement for daring to do it again and again.
