It Ain't Always Easy!

I remember when I was a little girl and I got sick...I hated the taste of my medicine!!! 
There I was kicking and screaming, literally having to be pinned down to get me to drink it....
                                                 I fought what would make me well.

Here I am as an adult...knowing what will heal the wounds of my heart (grace and forgiveness) and fighting as hard as I can not to do it. 

They say hindsight is 20/20.  When I was little, all I cared about was how bad the medicine tasted; I did not understand that the healing it would bring would be worth the temporary discomfort of the bad taste.

Life ain't always easy...grace and forgiveness come with a decided effort...that is ALWAYS worth it!  :)


Lord, help us to extend grace, forgiveness and love.  Amen

                                            ...to develop earthly asset sheets
                                                            ...to climb the career ladder

We are here...to Glorify God! ....to love others!  ...to extend grace!  Hello world!!!

The Glory of God

The Glory of God amazes me!
                       It is contradictory to this world...
                                                              It is not loud...it does not shout, "Look at me! Look at me!"
                                                                                                                     It does not demand our attention...

                                                       It captivates us!!!!
  
                   A snow filled mountain peak
                                                                                     Dew on early morning grass
              Soft baby skin
                                                             Fields of wheat swaying in the late summer breeze
      The laughter of children
                                                                                                           Softly falling snow
                                       Waves rolling gently onto white sand

God is amazing, glorious and grace filled.  His Glory and blessings surround us...
                                                                                           ...take time to rest in the Glory of God!
