@Rita FYI...I thought you might enjoy this thread (I didn't start it).

@Rita A measured and good, reflective way of expressing it.

@marks "All of grace, yes grace surpassing Such a portion to bestow, But the love, all knowledge passing, Grace has taught us now to know. Love that bore the stripes and sorrow, Love that suffered on the Tree, Love that shares the bright tomorrow With the loved ones, you and me."
