April 15--More Grace Please

You well know that the hours in which I hate you are those when my love for you has become a passion outrunning all reason. 
--Julie-Jeanne-Eleonore de Lespinasse

    Grace is the topic that floated to the top this morning as I headed over here to the blog. Then I opened "Every Day Spirit" by Mary Davis, and today's reading is titled "Amazing Grace Please." Ms. Davis relates a story of a woman who continually chats with God, always using "please" and "thank you." And she expects results and gets them. 
    Ms. Davis offers this suggestion: "Surrender, be vulnerable, and ask. Suspend judgment and notice how you feel after." 
    Pain and slow healing have reduced me to "please help, thank you," chanted over and over through angry, frustrated tears. "This, too, shall pass" and "One hour at a time" are also on a continuous roll through my mind. 
    Grace is healing me even if I can't see much progress.
