Initially, ‘Glasses of Grace’ started because my niece, Grace, had to get glasses for reading. Since grace is such a spiritual topic and the fact that my niece is such a doll, I started thinking about the ways God shows us His grace on a daily basis. From His servings, His 'glasses of grace' to us - to seeing the world through the eyes of grace (or Grace, since she had new glasses and better sight), it made sense in more ways than one, so a title was born. Blessings and all, this is my life…

On my mind...

Praying God’s will
Is easy enough
When it involves simple goals
And everyday stuff

Like a good grade at school
Or a raise at work
Even sometimes for others
Who may act like a jerk!

But when it comes to a life,
The rubber meets the road.
We always want healing
As the end to a load.

But God’s ways aren’t ours,
So do we pray for what’s best
Or continue selfish prayers
That put God to the test?

I know the answer
But the older I get
The more real it becomes
And the more I fret.

It’s hard to let go
And accept God’s plan
But that’s why He’s God
And we’re only man!

His plan will prevail
We continue the race
Trusting God as our source
As we rest in His grace.
