You are My Sunshine

I spent my first full weekend in Springdale over the past couple of days. I had such a lovely time, and it had nothing to do with where I was or what I did.

What did I ever do to deserve such amazing, loving friends?

And that is the thing.

I could never deserve the love I've been given.

And as I contemplated this in my time of reflection this morning, I realized that the only thing that I've ever been promised is that the Grace of God will follow me always. And, in this lifetime, it is all I will ever need.

Any friendship, joy, or love that I am given, therefore, is a blessed bonus; a measure of Grace that I thank God for every day.
