It was a free day, nothing scheduled, a rare treat. So I filled it.

• Wrote a note to a friend experiencing depression to assure her of my care and devotion.
• Mailed a gift to a young couple who just moved to a new area, them trying to find their place and settle into home.
• Baked cookies and took them to a teenager who is recovering from a serious accident.
• Delivered dinner to a family in crises.
• Visited a friend and brought a small mum as a love offering.

Turned out, it was a busy day with an added trip to the grocery store and library, And there are always meals to prepare and cleaned up at the Wright House.

By evening, I was tired but exhilarated. It was one of the best days I’ve had in a long time.

There were those years not so long ago when we were the ones in need, and people gave and gave. Back then I looked forward to the day when we could be the givers. Yesterday was one of those days. And it was joyous.

Grace we have received. Grace we will offer.

Sunday grace.
