Imparting Grace: Grace at Home No. 68

May my heart see . . . a blog? What?

My sister suggested years ago for me to start a blog. “A what?”, I said. Well, thank you, Cindy, for your suggestion – I think I’m gonna love this ! And I hope you do too. I want to share what my heart has “seen” and is learning through God’s Word and I want to hear from you too. The first time I EVER went to Bible study was when my “baby” was in an infant seat. I remember it vividly. (He’s 25 now BTW) My step-mom invited me; she was the leader. I don’t know if I would have went to a study where I didn’t know A SOUL – maybe. Anyway, I have been going to a weekly study since then regularly and LOVE IT, absolutely love it! When scripture says “ open the eyes of my heart, Lord” – what do you think that means? Hearts don’t have eyes, I mean literally they don’t. My step-mom used to say, “I know it in here (pointing to her brain) but I now know it in HERE (pointing to her heart). There’s a differ...

REAL expectations?

Oh to be truly thankful for what I have and to have REAL expectations in life. I mean, IF I am truly thankful for all that is given me (no matter what) – and to KNOW what is expected – doesn’t that sound peace-ful (full of peace) – wouldn’t that be a “slice of heaven” so to speak? I have a sweet granddaughter (Adalay) who is 10 months old, breast-fed and still not sleeping through the night. She wakes up and needs comfort. She’s hungry. That’s reality. To expect that she be comforted WITHOUT her mother – is that a REAL expectation? Probably not. I did have her for the night a couple weeks ago and we “made do” although we were up quite a bit (we took a delicious 4 hour nap later J ). Anyway, the REALity of it is that Adalay needs comforting in the middle of the night, albeit, with or without milk. A lactation specialist has told my daughter-in-love that THAT is NORMAL – a REAL expectation for babies, even at 10 months old. If...

Happy New Year! It’s a new year, a new beginning – the old is gone, the new has come! YIPEE! Not that 2012 was so awful – but it’s good to start afresh, don’t you think? Get rid of some old “bad” habits, put on some new “good” ones. My husband and I have promised each other we are not going to be “crabby” with each other anymore. I am horrible! We will try and talk nicely to each other - that alone will be a miraculous feat!! Sometimes, I just want to take back immediately what I just said – ever want to do that? At my office, my new cubby partner taught me a wonderful keystroke last year that I told her has “spiritual” meaning. Seriously! ctrl-Z. Ever use it? It un-do’s. Yep – whatever you type wrong or don’t mean to do – it undoes it. Ingenuous! I use it all the time now. (I know – I’m slow!) What on earth could be the spiritual meaning of ctrl-Z? Hmmm...

May My Heart See...
