A Road to Grace

In my readings this morning I came across what is titled an Irish wedding blessing (below). There were no notes that said who wrote it or where it came from, but the sentiments really touched my heart, and reminded me of how we need to be in service and grace to one another no matter WHERE the road leads us, or WHAT is in that road. Not always an easy road to walk, but I do have an assurance according to Gods word that it is one of his paths for us to take.

"May the good Lord embrace you with HIS arms that have nurtured you the whole length of your joy-filled days. May our gracious God hold you in the palm of His hands. And, today, may the Spirit of Love find a dwelling place in your hearts. Amen


“So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified." Act 20:32

Joy is busting out all over!!!

One of my favorite past times as a little girl was watching Rogers & Hammerstein Movies, particularly the musical, where I would dress up and sing and dance. A show tune favorite was "June is busting out all over!!" Do you remember that song, well lately I have been purposely choosing joy, in the good, the bad, and the ugly. it's much harder than you think. Funny thing is since I have been doing this I see JOY busting out all over!!! Thus that song comes to mind. just tonight I came across this sweet blog over at Cottage and Creek. She is choosing JOY and is having a giveaway to boot!! GO check her out, just click on the side bar link. Her blog is eye candy as well and brings me much JOY!!!
