Today, I paused, just for a moment, to breathe and say thank You.

Thank You, God, for being present on this long, winding journey back home. Home to You and home to myself.

You never left, even when I felt lost. Even when I didn’t know how to come back. Your presence has been a quiet strength, a gentle nudge, a steady light.

So today, I stop to notice, I stop to thank You, for the grace that met me in every step, and the love that never let me go.
