this grace

30th birthday. you, light, and movement. this is how i will remember my year.

The sun barely making the windows gray with edges of light, a perfect cup of tea hot beside me, a blanket wrapped around my knees; I settle in to read awhile, hoping she will sleep.

"To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given." ephesians 3:8

Inspired, I grab my laptop to write; to write about this grace, this life, my 30th birthday, the challenge of yesterday, the hope of today. As soon as I sit back down, eager with so much to say, I hear a little voice from my bed, "Momma. Momma? Momma!"

And there, I smiled. This grace. This grace I felt I needed to write on this perfect morning, instead I get to go show, to receive, to give.

Happy Wednesday, everybody.

Happy 30th birthday lovely girl! This was a beautiful post, and a beautiful reminder to grab the opportunities right in front of our eyes to show grace. Blessings to you and I promise you'll get an email from me very very soon! I've been wanting to write for so long now, but given that you also have a toddler I'm sure you understand ;-)
