Sometimes paying attention makes me a more grateful person. I notice beauty in things like spider webs when I’m gross-sweating on my walk home from the park. So intricate and fragile, yet so strong in purpose. May we be people who are fragile with and compassionate towards ourselves and our people, all the while holding fast in strength to what’s true. Sometimes it’s stepping out into the vulnerable places that helps us to recognize the strength of our God who sustains us.
