Today we're exploring the reality of grace with a story about my pup, Bailey, and a perfect tuna sandwich. Here are some resources I hope will help you recognize how grace is moving in your one beautiful life.
1. Perfect Tuna Sandwich: half sandwich with chilled tuna, just a hint of mayo on good bread such as marble rye or sourdough. Add crumbled feta, leafy lettuce or spinach, diced English cucumber, and a few grinds of black pepper. Enjoy with a ripe clementine and a handful of potato chips and be blessed!

12. Journal prompts: How did God come to meet me in this day? As I look back on my life, where have I felt the Hand of God change my path for my good? In what person or book or music did God reveal Himself to me this week? How can I respond to the grace that is offered to me?
13. Just heard of this! Grace Trail in Plymouth, Massachusetts and I'm definitely trying it! If you live in the area, this would make a great walking meditation.
