The Gift of Grace


I would like to introduce you to Grace...this is an angel created by Heidi Kujat.
Heidi is an amazing sculptor...she creates remarkable angels that
hold special energies such as Grace, Compassion, Dignity.
Her angels can light up a room...they can transform ordinary space into
Sacred Space because they invite the Divine to enter.
The angels help us create a connection with a power that transcends our daily human
experience and reminds us of our relationship with our Creator.

My mother's name is Grace. She left this world a few years ago.
She loved music and its power to transform.
She knew the power of Grace.
When challenges presented themselves, she used music to liberate
the Grace in her soul.
She created her own music and allowed her God to speak to her through music.
She also spoke to others through her music...especially when normal
conversation just wasn't enough to say what needed to be said.
It was easy to 'feel' Grace in the music she wrote...it was who she was...

When I remember Grace, I remember a rhythm, a musical tone, a way of being in the world.
I remember the Grace that we are all offered and given that pours down upon
us like a soft and gentle rain.
I remember Grace as a gift...not deserved, but given freely to all who open to its power.
I remember Grace's music...the music of a heart free and open to love
and its healing power.

I remember Grace's gift of peace...
I remember Grace's gift of hope...

Open to the gift of Grace...
There is certainly enough for all...

May the music of Grace become your new heartsong...
