Developing Rhythmns:law versus grace

I could relate so directly to the "law versus grace" theme for today when Sarah wrote about the woman establishing a routine of walking each morning. I was fine taking a short walk in the evening. Then Jerry began walking in the morning. I am not a morning person! " You walk, I'll sleep." Eventually I tried getting up in the morning too. And, to make a very long story short, I now thrive on my 30 minute morning walks, whether I walk alone, or with Jerry. These are real grace moments, for thinking, praying, feeling the cold or the warmth on my face, and giving thanks for being alive. It has been more than two years with these walks now. The walk actually puts order into the chaos that the day will inevitably bring. It has staying power. Then, when my schedule permits me to go to my favorite reading chair for some study and meditation, grace is all around. What are your grace-full moments this week?
