“Receiving grace is a lot easier to handle than giving grace to those who have hurt us and need it. Few realize how much they hurt themselves when they refuse to forgive those who they think have wronged them. The perceived wrongdoer sleeps at night while they let hate and anger fester and tear them apart inside. They continue with their life while those who refuse to grant grace to them destroy their relationship with the God who poured out his grace on them.”
― R. Marshall Wright, Grace Like a River Flows

“I tilt my head slightly in “only my mom” realization because she’s wearing a reindeer headband. A jingly, Christmas reindeer headband. I’ll even bet it... My mom reaches up and presses an unseen button. “It lights up! Isn’t it adorable?”
― Courtney Walsh, Merry Ex-Mas

“She left me a note telling me where to meet her for the parade this afternoon. It was written in green ink on red paper that smelled like cinnamon.”
― Courtney Walsh, Merry Ex-Mas

“It's in our fear and despair that God shows Himself most vividly.”
