GRACE

Happy Easter! "Oh Happy Day!"

GRACE. That word and the meaning of it has been popping up quite a bit lately in my little corner of the world. It's the kind of word that makes one pause and reflect. How do you explain the meaning of GRACE? How do you pray and hope for peace and happiness for everyone, everywhere?

One way of describing Grace is to say it is everything good in the world, in the heavens and beyond. The awesome power, peace and perfection found in God's glory renders Grace and goodness, comfort and satisfaction. The Holy Spirit flies in and out and about constantly pursuing excellence, exuberance, extraordinary experiences. Sometimes subtle whispers of wonder, often fantastic tripping of the light so fantastic. Sensational and Serendipitously ~ soft sweet moments, exhilarating, intoxicating to the soul in such a way that ignites the fading fire within. The alchemy from the flicker, a dim hint of light bursts it's magnificent flame of spellbinding beautiful bright light, shimmery, shiny, sparkly, opaque and translucent, iridescent all at once.

As simple as Grace is, is just as marvelous, magical, life changing and reassuring to understand we have access to this phenomenon then, now and forever. Freed by the light of God's glory, goodness and strength I say it again and again.

Not sure where I saw or heard this but it sure did catch my attention:

Jesus wept, Voltaire smiled. From that devine tear and from that human smile is derived the GRACE of present civilizations. ~ The word is the verb and the verb is God ~
