Gathering Grace
She walks softly through the tall grass, as though she has learned that healing is not loud… it is gentle. In one hand, she carries gathered blooms—small reminders that beauty still grows, even after hard seasons. In the other, a single flower, held with care, like something precious.
This is what grief teaches us: we move forward slowly, tenderly, still carrying what mattered, still noticing what remains. She is not leaving the sorrow behind… she is simply learning how to carry color again. A quiet soul in a wide field,
gathering grace one blossom at a time.
“To all who mourn… He will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair.”
—Isaiah 61:3
Grace does not always arrive like a sunrise… sometimes it comes like a wildflower, quietly gathered along the way.
