More Grace…Teachers Weekend Nuggets

Life musings

God is very fond of you.

I’m an 11th hour child, lucky. So lucky.

God grows people.  Offering grace means embracing patience.

Extending grace costs the giver.

Grace rolls around us like the Mississippi River. We stand in the middle with our cups.

Life is so unfair in my favor.

Grace builds bridges.

Join me for a cup of coffee and a bar of dark chocolate. We'll talk about -- well, what do you want to say? I'll listen. Teaching is my passion, reading my inspiration, writing - a creative outlet. And Jesus, my Redeemer. I lean hard. "For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry." -Mary Oliver

  1. Fascinating row of juicy tidbits. I must be extra dense, though; I can’t quite follow what is meant by the second one. Care to expand it?

    1. Yes, from the parable in Matthew 20, we (i) have often concluded that I’m the one who has labored through the heat of the day. How does my perspective change when I believe instead that I’m the one who only worked one hour but am given the riches of a days wage? Christ has been so generous with me. How do I extend this generosity to others?
