Welcome to GraceLaced Mondays! Grace is found in the everyday when you are intentional about taking note of it.
It is found in the sink full of dishes awaiting you after a family meal, it shines in the faces of your imperfect children, it soothes from the pages of God's Word, and it is tucked into the enjoyment of a fresh batch of cookies. Grace is in a beautiful moment and a heartbreaking one alike. Grace is blessing beyond what you and I deserve.
*********************************
All of us can relate to the story There's Grace For That told last week of the oftentimes chaotic frustrations of a Sunday Morning. (You might remember my recent post on lowering my voice with my kids...) There is indeed grace for those stressful moments, and God's enabling for us to the moms we want to be in this season of mothering young children:
"If you're anything like me, when one kid is crying and the other is asking for a drink, and another is hollering to pee... it's at these times, my head can start to spin and it's difficult for me to think straight nevermind to speak with grace and kindness. It's at these moments I need grace. Admit I "lost it" in the heat of the moment, apologize, and depend on God's grace to empower me the next time I feel my head begin to spin."
