When I cannot or will not extend grace to others, then I know I am refusing the grace my God has for me. God as I understand God to be gives abundantly, to overflowing. And that grace changes me. By its very nature, it flows over to my brothers and sisters with no holds barred. All of these emotional, mental and spiritual tug-of-wars yank me out of the present moment. When I am ruminating, I am incapable of being in the present. Living in the moment becomes impossible.

And so I begin again. Friday has always been my favorite day of the week. A meet and greet today with a HHA (home health aide) from Bayada. Let go of the fear, the “what if”, the “if only”…and remember who is really in charge. As NA puts it, The Ultimate Authority. Remember to be present. To pause. To seek and knock for wisdom, discernment. To accept the assignment of being of Mom’s advocate anew.
