Today is Tuesday. Another busy day for the Mehlhaff family...but I am inclined to reflect on the last few days, to give praise for the triumphs and to pray to resolve all the failures. I am struck by the idea of grace and the role it has played...
Some people think it's coffee that gets us through our days--admittedly, the glorious drink has dazzled me into thinking so on occasion! But if we stop to think about it just a little bit, it is clear what the real deal is: grace! Grace is always hot, never runs out, and never fails to stimulate us! Grace is the mark of God on one's heart, that allows us to enjoy triumphs and deal with failures. Grace is what strengthens us so that we might do great things, and fortifies us when greatness eludes us.
Grace is what we all need, and what I'm praying for most today...albeit with a cup o' joe in hand...
Amen.
Ah, triumphs! Oh, failures! Lord, pour me another cup of Grace, please.... (Perhaps we should look into creating a new line of coffees. I can see the advertisements now: Grace in a Cup. Start your day with a cup of Grace. Grace: Good to the last drop...and then some!)
