Today was the birthday of my friend. I called her to sing "happy birthday" to her in order to make her laugh. She lives alone in a big old house that is beautiful, but is always in need of some sort of work. 10 months ago, a tornado went through the town and two trees in her backyard fell on either side of her house, causing damage to her roof! When it happened, she called us, her "walking buddies," to come and be there with her as she assessed the damage. As we came together, it was an experience of grace; a moment in which you know that there are people in this crazy world who would do anything for you because they love you, no strings attached.
As I spoke with my friend today, I realized that our experiences of grace aren't once and for all; they linger and add lasting fragrance to our lives! Each time I talk with her, the fragrance grows stronger.
