Grace on their Face!


In the gospel of John chapter 1:14 the writer states, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory as of the only begotten from the Father full of grace and truth."

As you look at the picture presented of my three younger children and their grandmother you can see LIFE in their faces! The pure enjoyment of being together is obvious and the sounds of hearing them laugh is seen as they pose for the camera. Grandmother, on the other hand, is soaking in the moment! LOVE is bouncing off each other and into one another's hearts. The LIGHT in each of their faces says, "I'm here, alive, having fun, and feel safe, and loved."

Time travels so fast, and before you know it - children are grown up, parents are older, and even you feel the age within your bones. Funny thing is with God there is no TIME, only Grace and Truth.

If grace truly lives in our hearts as we walk daily with God, why is it not on our face? I realize life is not always what we thought, but God's Word remains the same - "full of grace and truth".

Just a thought - get some GRACE back on your FACE. Live as though you didn't need to worry about anything because God is in control. He loves us!

Keep giggling ... it's a brand new day!
