Graceful Five Minute Friday
Five minutes. Transparent. Raw.

Graceful. Grief is not Graceful. I am coming up on a year since mom died. It was Sept 10th that she went into the long term care. I was supposed to be for 14 days. She was there 9.
I had that 6+ hour drive home. I stopped a lot to stretch…Something else that isn’t Graceful? Trying to walk the day after a half marathon.
That evening I sat around with my brother and sister in law and my two young adult sons and The Principal. We talked. We cried. The ugly cry. The not so Graceful cry.
After my brother left that evening I was even more NOT Graceful. The grief was smothering me. I cried. I wailed. I was angry.
But His Grace is sufficient! His LOVE is sufficient!

I’m visiting from 5 Minute Friday, and I had this ugly, not graceful cry even as I wrote my 5MF! You’re right…grief isn’t graceful, and it isn’t supposed to be!! But “His Grace is sufficient! His LOVE is sufficient!” Praying grace for your grief today!
Thank you for stopping by! And for your prayers!
Loved this post. Sometimes, all we have is the ugly cry. And his grace covers us when we have no grace of our own.
Blessings!
