every two seconds
my husband and i had one of "those" kinds of weekends.
if you are married, or even if you aren't
but you have a significant other, you know what i mean.
it was one of those weekends, that without grace,
we wouldn't be talking to each other today,
we wouldn't be looking at each other today,
we would be acting rude today.
we would have resorted to self, but instead
we resorted to God, out of love for Him,
we chose grace.
every.two.seconds.
we had to. grace was the only thing that would take us
to a different place.
we were stuck. stuck in our tones. stuck in our words. stuck in our dirty looks.
by choosing grace, every two seconds, we get beyond whatever we are stuck in;
whether it's a disagreement, or bickering, or a blowout.
free will is such a beautiful thing, and everyday i'm thankful that we have
a choice to choose grace.

grace is like a beautiful rose in a mysterious way.
grace, like a rose
grace, like a rose
has so many hidden layers that we haven't even reached yet.
both so beautiful.

ps i love that you pretty much were already sopaing without even knowing it! ; )
Your mother-daughter one was good for me. We adopted my niece in March. She'd just turned 11. It has been so.much.harder. than I dreamed. We wouldn't change our choices regarding the adoption at all, but wow. Also, it has catapulted me/us into the tween/teen drama and upset a lot sooner than expected, because of the deep, deep hurts in her heart.
Thanks for your honesty!
hubby and i had the SAME kind of weekend and i chose self too many times!

thanks for blessing me today, friend!
