I was so fortunate to spend time with Pat and Sandy last week.  They sang this song Pat wrote many years ago. It has been my constant reminder this week as Life continues to present immense blessings along with evidence of the brokenness that persists in our world.  

May I greet each, the blessings and the brokenness, with grace and acceptance and love.

Forward we go.  

We are all swimming to the other side.
