Count me in!

With several of my friends doing this now and knowing how much I have enjoyed reading their posts, I have been thinking about joining the ranks of the blogging world for days. I wasn't going to do it though until I had a screen name and a blog name I was happy with. My screen name comes from a nickname that I was given by a friend's child many years ago...he is well into his teens now, yet the name has somehow stuck, but that's okay because it's always nice to have a nickname that comes from special people and special times. The blog name is another story.....I have two nieces who I absolutely adore....Kate, who is 11, very soon to be 12, the other is 7. Her name is Grace. She knows the song isn't about her, but every time 'Amazing Grace' is sung in her presence, she blushes! haha. The theme of her third birthday party was 'Amazing Grace,' so that is probably where that thought started, but it is funny to watch her. At any rate, Grace had to get glasses a couple of weeks ago for reading and she was SO excited because her older sister wears glasses or contacts too. In thinking about this blogging experience and wanting to have a good name, somehow 'Glasses of Grace' just seemed like a good name because it is so easy to look around and see how many glasses we are given of God's grace every day....from the small miniscule provisions that we may not even think about to the huge things that can only be acts of God. So while I am new to this mode of communication, I am excited to have a new way to correspond with friends, near and far, and hopefully we can all share our 'Glasses of Grace' together!
