“I give grace, because I so desperately need it.”

– Lysa Terkeurst

When I think of Grace, the first thing I think of is this little girl, my “Gracie:”

Then I think about how she is so not the image of “grace” as we think of it. They say your horse is a mirror reflection of you, and that is definitely the case when it comes to the word graceful, as demonstrated by my near face-plant in wedge heels tonight.

And then, what comes to my mind is, perhaps the most important meaning of grace, and that is the definition referring to God’s forgiveness and never-ending love. What a beautiful thing, the mighty grace of God, to pick us up when we are at our lowest and hit a “reset” button, knowing we can start fresh with a new day.
