Although I know that I may have lost forever the woman I love, I must try to enjoy all the
graces that God has given me today. Grace cannot be hoarded. There are no banks where
it can be deposited to be used when I feel more at peace with myself. If I do not make full
use of these blessings, I will lose them forever.
God knows that we are all artists of life. One day, he gives us a hammer with which to
make sculptures, another day he gives us brushes and paints with which to make a
picture, or paper and a pencil to write with. But you cannot make a painting with a
hammer, or a sculpture with a paintbrush. Therefore, however difficult it may be, I must
accept today’s small blessings, even if they seem like curses because I am suffering and
it’s a beautiful day, the sun is shining, and the children are singing in the street. This is
the only way I will manage to leave my pain behind and rebuild my life.
