Grace to You

by Cal Elifson, Ed.D., LCPC

Have you noticed how we greet each other?   "Hi, how are you?   "What's up?" "How is the world treating you?" And, if we are good friends, we may say, "Good to see you!" and give a hug.

 

It makes me wonder how God would greet us. I don't know for sure, but I like to think he would greet us like he did in many of St. Paul's letters: "Grace to you, and peace."   (I Corinthians 1:3, NASB)

(C.S. Lewis, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe)

The Enduring Power of Connection

Through the process of connecting, however, our brains and our spirits are given new life. So often we underestimate the power of even a small interaction shared from the heart, a word of compassion, or even the act of sitting with another in their pain.
