Omer Day 2 גבורה שבחסד Gevurah SheBeChesed

Strength. Boundaries. Power. Withholding. Discernment. Judgement within Love. Generosity. Boundless Giving. Outreach.

To have a friend who will ask you the hard questions who won’t take skimming the surface for answers.

To do or say the hard thing sooner rather than later.

To lean in and see it through when every particle of your being wants to run away.

To “welcome everything that comes to me today, because I know it is for my healing.” *

*from The Welcoming Prayer of Father Thomas Keating
