24-155 Grace

abstract background with blobs of reds, blues, greens, whites, pinks, and yellows…with a couple of wrinkle-like diagonal lines. on top in black ink towards the bottom right, a circle drawn around a red blob with 10 petals. in the center a gold blob is outlined into a heart. From the top left corner is a much larger mandala in white ink where we only see a small portion of the center. There are six rows of double-lined petals all seem to be aiming towards the “red” mandala. white dots radiating from the outer petals down to the red mandala.

Grace

“the Divine assistance given to us to help us be kind, generous, and thoughtful towards others, even in challenging circumstances”

Of all the definitions that came up for the word grace, this is the one that resonated…at least with regards to today’s MotD. It’s during challenging circumstances, when I’ve exhausted all my human options and perspectives that I reach out and ask the Powers That Be to help me see this situation or person(s) differently. And it’s from this place, that grace appears, a different perspective comes to mind…sometimes instantly…sometimes the next day…but it does come.

It’s easy to be kind and generous when everything is sunshine and roses…it’s during the tough times where it becomes a challenge to maintain our thoughtfulness without some Divine assistance. Thankfully, it’s just a prayer and a breath away.

How about you? Is grace a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with …

joyfully,

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.
