There can be grace in grief we find in Something More Sundays Week 1. The holidays can be doubly difficult if someone has experienced the recent loss of a loved one. Enough tears can be shed to possibly brine a Thanksgiving turkey. I think most of you know that despite my desperate pleas for prayer I did not make it to my grandmother’s side before she passed away.
