I rest in what is already being held
Sunday Blessing – Gratitude & Grace
Today I acknowledge that grace is everywhere in my life — even in the places where I feel behind.
What is being held together that I did not force?
Everything.
Even my health — even the pain — has been protection.
It has forced me to rest.
It has slowed me down when my mind wanted to overrun my body.
That is grace too.
I am learning that softness is growth.
Recognizing my negative patterns without shaming myself is growth.
Choosing awareness instead of reaction is growth.
If I were already enough — right now — the pressure in my head would loosen.
The story that says I must earn my worth would quiet.
Today I release the lie of “not enough.”
Grace does not require performance.
If gratitude were a posture in my body today, it would feel like peace.
Happiness.
A softer mind.
A steadier breath.
I receive instead of perform.
I rest instead of prove.
I allow instead of push.
Sunday is holy because I am breathing.
Love and light to all… and so it is.
