Welcome to 31 Days of Grace. If you’re just joining us, you can browse the previous posts here if you are interested. Yesterday I shared with you some photos that remind me of the grace that exists all around me — of the gifts that circle and weave themselves into my everyday, of the freedom that is available to me each minute. All I have to do is receive it. All of my photos were of children either laughing, playing, learning, being. I chose those because they represent what I long for life to be and also, what I know it can be because of grace.
Now it’s your turn. Choose a photo or a series of photos that represent grace to you. Then, link up to that specific post from your blog and share them with us below. Your post doesn’t have to be word-free, but I would encourage you to say the least amount as possible. Let your image speak for itself. If you feel like you have a lot to say, save it for later this week when we’ll have another link-up to finish the sentence, “Grace is . . .” But for today, it’s photos. If you wish to link up to a previous post, well that would be just fine. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Just a reminder to use the permalink to your blog post when you link. If you need help with that, see this post by Darcy, one of my fellow 31 Dayers this month. Also, be sure to include a link back here to Chatting at the Sky so your readers can join in if they would like. I look so forward to browsing your images of grace!
Oh my, Emily! Your photos are as breathtaking as your words. (I’ve been a long-time admirer of your words, but spent some time tonight snooping about, amongst your photos…) Thank you for encouraging your readers to seek the art in stand-alone images … to find beauty in the picture, without having to explain it with words.
True beauty here, as you “chat at the sky” while keeping your eyes glued to the God Gallery here close to Earth.

What a cool idea, Emily! I think I said too much though, in my post. That’s so typical. I was pithy for me though! I felt like I had to explain why I chose the picture I did.

Beautiful photo and beautiful words!
I finally decided I would comment after ages of lurking. When I came to the comment form, it had Melissa’s {A Familiar Path} name and info. already filled out. I scratched my head. “Why would Melissa’s info. be on my laptop? On Emily’s site?”
Then, I remembered.
It was the day she came to visit me back in the summer and borrowed my laptop {while I was on the desktop – Yes, we were surfing while visiting. ;D}. It was also while Tess, that adorable, sweet lil’ girl, was dunking Melissa’s phone in my coffee. Her phone never revived. Poor thang.
I realize this comment has nothing to do with your wonderful series. I’m sorry. Perhaps I should drink more coffee before I work up the nerve to comment next time.
you are the most gracious hostess i know. thanks for having a little party that celebrates the grace all around us. xoxo
Well this is a sweet blog! Came her from your sister’s place. Now, off to choose my post for your party. Oh, and I’m your newest follower!

So glad I stumbled upon your beautiful blog.
Emily: Thanks for offering us the chance to participate. I was going to add my link to my picture (with too many words, sorry… I don’t know how to stop!) But I’m not seeing the linky thing?
Today it’s working. Yeah! I got linked up.

Just rediscovering your blog…and am so blessed by your simple, yet profound words {my favorite style!}, gorgeous photos and the pieces of your heart that are so clearly woven throughout. Just hopping around through your grace series…it’s perfect. Thank you!
Sigh. I am sorry I missed this. But I was doing other good things. Taking Someone up on grace…
