Awhile back, like maybe a year or so ago, 5 week theme at church was call The 5 Stones. Each week we listened as Pastor drenched us with His Word, enlightening us as he told us we are to suffer well, make wise choices, that we all have a calling, and we are responsible to manage ourselves....in the end we are to live grace-filled lives. I only came home with 3 stones. For a year i had only 3 stones. Then one day in the garage I found a fourth stone. That made me really happy and i put it with my collection, still incomplete, but one step closer.
Last week i was pretty put out by another person that happens to occupy some of the space i work and play in. When I get like this, I just know it will result in a pearl, because oysters are like that. no i am not an oyster, but if i were i would have one heck of a large pearl by now. i had to crawl in the floor board of my car (one of the smallest made by the japanese) and reach under the seat to see if i possible dropped my wallet there (i know you think the real story is that I was looking for my cell phone ~ wrong!) and low and behold....my 5th stone!!! "Grace-filled"
wowzers. it keeps coming back to that for me. grace-filled.
with His grace. thank you Lord!
and Lord, please help me to extend that grace to the others around me....
refresh, refuel, renew. ahhhhhh better than a day at the spa.
