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…

My 'half-way there' poem

I don't know what I was thinking when I said I'd post every day for a month! It seemed like a good idea at the time! :-) SO, in honor of being 'half-way there' I thought I'd make up a poem! :-)

I had no idea
how hard it would be
to post every day
about the life of me!

It seems a long time
yet it's only (been) 15 days...
Trying to do this every evening
puts my mind in a haze!

It's harder than I imagined
My thoughts are running thin
I'm trying to be original
but I'm in a tailspin!

Yet I'll keep plugging on
in order to keep my word and be kind
But if I say that I'll do this again
You'll know that I've lost my mind! :-)

I am kidding with this, of course...I know the pressure is self-imposed, but that's one thing I'm great at! I just wonder how original and interesting I can be for 15 more days! :-)

Great poem Dianne! Wow, yes it's quite a challenge. Maybe you should do a blog entry asking for some ideas, that would use up another blogging day and could be heaps of fun:-)

You are more creative than you give yourself credit for! That poem is awesome!!

Ideas for blogs? Tell us stories from your childhood, from your teen years, from your early adulthood; more stories about Grace and Kate and Sweet Kitty. Tell us more about your church, your job, etc, etc. And you always inspire me whenever you share from the depths of your heart and your convictions. My goodness....there's another 15 days at least!!

Good job with the poem. Sounds like you are very intelligent. I bet you are a very creative person. Have a good week!

You're a poet....I didn't know it!

Variety is the spice of life...tell us a story, give us a recipe, tell us what books you're reading, tell us your dreams, etc.

Hugs!

you amaze me with the poems you can write in just a matter of minutes!

Y'all, don't let this girl fool ya! She's got a depthness to her that goes beyond the average person. If you want insight, compassion and the best advice ever...Dianne is your "go to" girl.

She's got plenty 'o material!

Hi there. I found you thru Lynnes blog and I loved the poem. Since I am so new at this blog world stuff, I think I will not put the pressure on myself to post alot. Right now, I do not have many people hopping over to me. I guess this is how it starts tho.
Have a good day.

Jill said...

Ha! Somehow I missed that you were posting every day this month. That's a big undertaking! I'll make sure I check back ever day.

Your committment to post daily for a month is stretching all of us, because we have to comment for 31 days. Your next blog, since no one reads mine, should be a survey of the questions inquiring Christian women want to know. Tonight was interesting and we should broaden our horizons. Thanks for all of your help. Leanne

This is a real cute poem... I had a little laugh to myself. I don´t always blog everyday either... I think if I put that kinda pressure on I would dry up ...much quicker than you I might add! Then I have days when I do 2 or 3 posts because I am all inspired! That´s how it goes sometimes eh!
