After watching my kids grow and grandparents struggle, this tendency starts at around 14 months and never stops until we take our last breath. We want to earn it- to do it...
That is just the thing, God's economy is different. The wonder of His grace towards me, and the whole world, is so overwhelming. It's been hitting me like a ton of bricks, but yet with the weight of a feather and the comfort of a down jacket or a cozy fire on a cold day. He just gives it. Thank you Jesus!
Our life has been a picture of that recently... things that we want or need freely given.
GRACE:
Living here- in grandpa's house. It has four bedrooms and has been given to us rent free.
My Den...
My kids, their beds, clothes, dresser, toys...
Weston's birthday present- Tae Kwon Do lessons- he's a yellow belt now
I've always wanted one of these- garage sale $3! :)
King sized bed and inexpensive comforter set from Anna's Linens.
My kids time with family- notice their carseats were too small. I want them in a carseat until they're big- but that means $$$
But then I found the best carseats for them on Craig's list! $50 for Britax- good until 85 pounds!! We call them the thrones! They are huge. My bottom can fit in the seat- that's really saying something!
My garden- see the flowers? Tomatoes are on the way! LOVING CALIFORNIA!
Corn will definitely be knee high by fourth of July!
Did you know gardenia is one of my favorite smells? This is the first one of the year!!!
and look at all those buds.... soon this will be covered with sweet smelling flowers!
Grace all grace.

I love this post. I too think of God's grace in my life--played out in so many ways. It is wonderful to think how our GREAT God is merciful in the little things and in the big things. I love you.
