Another "Be Still" Sacred Echo

Last year on my birthday, the last birthday I spent with my best friend, Angie bought me the book "One Thousand Gifts".  That book means a lot to me for many reasons.  When she handed me that book, I had no idea, truly no idea that it would be my last birthday with my friend.

The writer of that book is a sweet, holy lady named Ann.  She has a lovely blog I frequent.  Today on her blog she wrote about the silence of Wednesday during holy week. 

That whole blog post is powerful but a few lines speak to me.  
"be still
means stop trying to achieve great things....
and simply receive grace."  

THAT beautifully describes what is going on in my prayer life right now. 

I miss my friend.
