timely quotes

... sharing a few quotes that crossed my path this week

'Let's not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.'
James Thurber

'I believe in a God who does not send the tragedy but who sends the incredible grace to deal with the tragedy.'
Rabbi Harold Kusner

I'm not familiar with authors of the quotes, but can certainly relate to their message. Awareness is one special gift I've been given and although I feel that it fades at times, it does return...and I do know that He's trying to give us all the gift of grace to 'deal' with our sorrows.
