The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldnt have been complete without you. – Frederick Buechner
You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you. – Frederick Buechner
