Oh Look! Something Shiny...

Can you see it? Do you perceive it?

*sparkle*~*twinkle*

In the midst of the rubble, and the trouble, and the despair...
It     is     there...

~*G R A C E*~

~My husband~
the romantic, full of sweet nothings, jewels and gifts for "no reason" ~NOT~
~*faithful *hardworking *kind *sweet daddy *esteems God's word *has wisdom*~

~My Parents~
grumpy, critical, ungrateful, selfish
~*generous *loyal *(married 50+ years) *faithful *loving*~           

~My Children~
uncooperative, complaining, belligerent, forgetful
~*kind *hardworking *helpful *friendly *sweet *growing in grace *maturity *blowing kisses*~

Do you perceive it?
Graceless...

Or Can you SEE it?
Grace Lists...

~*From his *fullness* we have *all* received, ~*grace upon grace*~
...*grace and truth* came *through* Jesus Christ* ~
John 1:16, 17b

feel free to confess being graceless or to share your grace lists :o)

My name means...Peace

Erin..."Poetic name for Ireland, Peace"

This really should make you Laugh Out Loud...Literally, if you knew me in person...
One would say, "Anything, BUT...'peace"

First meeting one would be struck with the VOLUME of my voice and my VERY presence of being: chaotic, fidgety, forgetful, distracted, pushy, abrupt, messy...oh, and did I mention LOUD?

So...why, PEACE... HOW??

This is the MOST WONDERFUL part...I have a heavenly Father...and he is doing a NEW thing, a wonderful thing, a MIRACULOUS thing...

He is making me into a Peace full person. It first began when He gave me Peace with Him, through his son Jesus...

So here will be a place to share (I hope!) all the wonderful, miraculous things God is doing in my life...and a place to reflect upon the Wonder of his Word as He impresses things on my heart, and into my being...

I really hope I can keep up with this...

Not of this world, Peace...
~Erin
