Reflecting Grace

It’s Easter weekend, and we are so missing gathering and celebrating this special time of the year with our family. As the weeks of “lockdown” continue, it seems to be harder for me to stay focused and on track. I’m finding it’s critical to build structure into my day. Otherwise, it’s gets easier to sleep late, wander around the house for a few hours, and finally get going on a project about noon! But Paul is a great partner and we are doing well at working to find purpose in our lives each day as well as tackling spring jobs - getting the yard cleaned up, the fun garden art out of the shed and today, while I was painting, he even cleaned out the garage! Yay!

I’m continuing to think about of the incredible gift of grace. This week’s painting is inspired by a photo taken by professional photographer, Jan Swart. She is dedicated to getting up early each day and taking a new picture of some beautiful sight on the North Shore of Minnesota. Reflecting Grace, is a 9” x 12” watercolor painting, and for me, this seems a fitting title. In spite of the uncertainty of our world, we are blessed by the deep, deep grace inherent in God’s creation with the daily ritual of a spectacular sunrise and sunset.
