Who would ever know the greater graces of comfort and perseverance, mercy and forgiveness, patience and courage, if no shadows fell over a life?
Life-changing gratitude does not fasten to a life unless nailed through with one very specific nail at a time.
Just that maybe … maybe you don’t want to change the story, because you don’t know what a different ending holds.
I want to see beauty. In the ugly, in the sink, in the suffering, in the daily, in all the days before I die, the moments before I sleep.
