"i would like to achieve a state of inner spiritual grace from which i could function and give as i was meant to in the eye of God. Vague as this definition may be, i believe most people are aware of periods in their lives when they seem to be "in grace" and other periods when they feel "out of grace," even though they may use different words to describe this state."
from the book, "gift from the sea" anne morrow lindbergh
i adore the book "gift from the sea" it seems no matter how displaced i get from myself, or from the path i have chosen, these pages of the most beautiful words, bring me back to a home. a kind of home, that welcomes me with open arms. for whatever it's worth, i choose grace ; )
how have you been, my friends? i have often thought of you.
i have been on go, for the last two weeks. today i will be more than happy to make breakfast for my family, and pass a loaf of bread, around the table. i am grateful in every way for this moment... this simple moment, of now. i dig that. : )
praise to The Most High.

Love the book, too. I just did a post today about an artist I learned of during the same class I was required to read her book. It was so good...moving.
Praise to God, indeed. xox
Have a great weekend Christina!
Sending you hugs and much love! xo

Simple moments are the best things in life. Happy weekend, lovely Christina! xxoo :)
Your words, once more, remind me of the Grace I have in my life. I am so grateful I know you.

this quote brought me tears...a treasured family friend gave me that book when i got married. i read it then. this quote spoke to my heart and whispered it was time to read it again - nearly 11 yrs and a whole other woman (i've become) later. this post spoke to a very tender place today. thank you, friend.
love and amen!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend too. It has been a rough week, I feel like today I'm finally getting a handle on it. Gift of the Sea is a beautiful book. It's one I return to again and again.
The egg photo is simply beautiful. I've given "Gift from the Sea" as gifts 3 times. It's beautiful too, just as you are. Blessings Christina.
Praise be to simple moments and that you notice them and share. This week has been a little bumpy for me, but I am looking forward to a weekend that will be full of "grace". My copy of "gift from the sea" is so worn out, I need to buy a new copy. I love that book. One year I chose "grace" as my word for the year. I certainly had to learn to accept "grace" from others, something I realized I wasn't very good at.
Have a "grace" filled weekend.
a beautiful book ..had forgotten about it ..and such a simple beauty in the eggs
do enjoy that theme of living in grace, some weeks are easier than others!
You have a joyous and blessed weekend!!
Hugs

living in grace can only accomplished with faith and love for the giver.

I too love that book!
Happy Weekend to you~
We are deep into October:)
That book and your quote sounds divine. Reading your words are like coming home.
It's crazy-busy time around here, too. But, good stuff. All of it's good.
i've heard of that book a few times. i will add it to my list.
happy weekend!
Trying to leave comments, but every time I come here, there's a glitch! In any event, missing you; very hectic days...so glad you're photographing beautiful horses and beautiful places and things. xoxox
This book is on my bedstand...and has been for years:)
I adore that book too.
Her words are timeless.
