All that is, living and not living, is God incarnate, and is a gift and a grace. The gifts or graces are everything, including this day, my every breath, my every heart beat, my hand, the ability to move and think and feel, the ability to see, hear, taste, smell, and touch, other people, a glass of water, a butterfly, my cat, a tree, a rock, a lifetime, the entire world in which I live. It is difficult for me to differentiate between small and great graces. I think all graces are both small and great. What helps me value and treasure the graces in my life is knowing how precarious and temporary they are and how little control I have. What helps me feel complete with the graces in my life is being aware of and grateful for them.
