* grace before meals colored by Nicolas *

what happens when we live God’s way?  God brings gifts into our lives, much the way fruit appears in an orchard.  things like

affection for others

exuberance about life

serenity

a willingness to stick with things

a sense of compassion in the heart and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates everything.

we find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to direct our energies wisely.

–Galatians 5.22-23
