“You nourish your soul by fulfilling your destiny.” Harold Kushner
Grace is one of those intangible qualities that is difficult to describe but easy to recognize.Those who possess grace seem to walk effortlessly through life. They give the illusion of glowing from within and that glow is apparent to everyone around them.
To live in a state of grace means to be fully in tune with your spiritual nature and a higher power that sustains you. Grace comes when you are able to move from your lower self, where your ego dictates the path that “should be” rightfully yours, to your higher self, where you are able to trenscend your ego and expand into your greater good. It comes when you shift from a “me”-centred reality to an understanding of the bigger picture. Grace comes when you understand and accept that the universe always create circumstances that lead every person to his or her own true path, and that everything happens for a reason as part of a divine plan.
Sounds wonderful, you might say, but how do you achieve such a blissful state? By remembering each and every day that the lessons you are presented with are special gifts uniquely for you, and that learning these lessons is what will bring you to a state of grace. By anchoring yourself in the belief that you will be given whatever is right for you, regardless of how far off it may be from your perceived personal agenda.

Here’s a favourite song from Katherine Jenkins “I will pray for you”

God bless!!!
I will pray for you
As you find your way
Through this life you make
I hope you live each day
for all it’s worth
Go where you heart leads
And dream your biggest dreams
All of these things
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
Through every darkness
Through every light
This road ahead of you
I cannot carry you
But I can promise
I will pray for you
If a love so true
Breaks your heart in two
And it hurts so much
that you can’t forgive
And even the smallest step
feels like miles away
But you’ll get there one day
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
Through every darkness
Through every light
This road ahead of you
I cannot carry you
But I can promise
I will pray for you
So if you ever start to wonder
if you’re in this world alone
I’ll be there to help you over
If you lose your way
If you lose your faith
When your time is through
My final wish for you
is to count your blessing not your regrets
With peace inside your soul
and all that heaven holds
I hope you always know
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
Through every darkness
Through every light
This road ahead of you
I cannot carry you
But I can promise
I will pray for you
