Grace

I need the shelter of comfort these days, as I feel the loss of my father sinking deeper and deeper into me.

Comfort is a shelter, a warm blanket, a refuge. Fortunately, we do not need to do anything extraordinary to produce comfort, because it is something that already exists within each of us and all around us. Real comfort can be found in the context of daily living. It is a grace. We just need to open our arms and receive it. We just need to open our arms and give it.

I let the little things of my day comfort me:
— tea and toast for breakfast
— my soft black sweater hugging my shoulders
— an evening walk at the park
— a goodnight kiss.

How can comfort be a shelter for you today?
