“It is the first day because it has never been before and the last day because it will never be again. Be alive, if you can, all through this day - today - of your life. What's to be done? What's to be done? Follow your feet. Put on the coffee. Start the orange juice, the bacon, the toast. Then go wake up your children and your spouse. Think about the work of your hands. Live in the needs of the day.”
Quote by Frederick Buechner

The alphabet of grace
This book organizes its meditation on grace in an alphabetical structure, using each letter as a prompt to consider different facets of the idea—from forgiveness and kindness to unmerited favor and divine love. Rather than a linear narrative, it offers a series of contemplative passages that invite readers to ponder how grace manifests in human relationships, personal growth, and religious thought. The approach suggests a gentle, methodical journey through language and experience, aiming to illuminate the subtle ways grace operates in ordinary life and profound moments alike. more
