For me, drops of grace are those little things everyday that happen, cause joy, and then pass us by as we forget them going about life.
So here I am going to put them down, and choose to see and be thankful.
Lovelies, how blessed we are!
...divine appointments
...new friends when you're grumpy and don't want to be nice
...talking about issues of the heart with a lovely french lady
...having the Awana team representatives win at the bible quiz in the volunteer appreciation time
...when one thing reminds you of another precious memory
...finding I'm not alone in being too bored and lazy to eat
...house-sitting someone's house, being blown away by their generosity and enjoying the peace in the moments
...candles in the bedroom
...thinking of all the things you are happy about when all you want to do is give into the depression
...getting a hug from David while he's still in bed half-asleep
...grace for the moments when memories unwanted surprise you and come to mind
...shared moment in the hallway over a lady eating a messy chocolate ice cream treat
...shh, life's getting hard, the Lord must be doing something
...helping an unfortunate fellow over thinker in getting a girl, well texting her
...groomed poodle puppy paws
...an empty house that reminds me to pray for my future husband
...the instant thaw that happens when you step out on a Florida night
...the soothing nature of classical music
...how Piano Concerto No. 1in F-Sharp Minor, Op. 1 II. Andante sounds like a heartbeat of someone who is in love-the ups and downs, the sighs, the excitement and butterflies
...praising the Lord every time I don't die in a close call driving in Florida
...finding myself checking the rearview mirror less and less and the healing grace I see with that
...having a friend you can call when you do something stupid, and don't have the assurance you won't do it again.
…cinnamon crunch bagels fresh out of the oven that are too hot to even cut
…getting a puppy jumping up in greeting
…knowing where you stand on a certain issue that is causing controversy elsewhere
…standing up for yourself
...delightful warmth of the sunshine
...when a picture you have never seen before takes you somehwere familiar and wanted
...the inexplicable comfort and care of a simple 'you ok?'
...puppy kisses
