10/9/2022 It has been a long time and a weary time. With the usual pain and weariness has been added the fun of the Communist Chinese Disease or COVID which has added another whole layer of pain, fatigue, feeling cold and the inability to sleep. Hope and grace were such an important part of holding on during this time. I had hope that as the Bible says “this too shall pass” and by seeking to treat others with grace I could experience and acknowledge their grace shown to me. Grace and hope are not limited by how you feel but how you feel and your condition can be enhanced by hope and grace.
