What do I know of the homeless, the ones who dream of sleeping in a tent instead of under cardboard, who yearn for warm socks instead of Yeezy shoes, who prefer having food for their dog or cat instead of the NO PETS sign outside the shelter?
Oh, my, No, but our family ancestry contains a large number of clergy. I might have received a full ride to college if I’d studied for the ministry but that did not seem the correct path for me.
What a lovely expression of gratitude and to Whom we owe it all to: God - the Universal Mind that loves us, sustains us and keeps us alive. I'm thankful to be one of your subscribers so that I can be inspired by these beautiful lyrical reflections about Life's nuances; those moments which border on the inexpressible, but which you're able to capture. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Just curious because of your understanding about grace.

an ellipsis dressed in a three-button suit...” 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you, Troy!
Wisdom.
We wouldn’t be human if we weren’t flawed, or long for what is not now. You capture that.
Excellent observation, Patris-Thank you!
I like that, Danielle-Happy Thanksgiving!
