All is Grace

12 Comments

You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing, and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.

– G.K. Chesterton

Happy Thanksgiving, American friends! I’ll see you again on Monday.

    Wow, amazing quote! I love Chesterton madly, but have never read that one before…and it definitely reminds me of myself.
    Have a lovely Thanksgiving, Caroline! One of the things I’m thankful for this year is you and your beautiful book!

      Isn’t it amazing how much there is to be thankful for if we just stop and think about it?
