Ugly-Beautiful Graces = Real Life
“Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.” ~ Chuck Swindoll Today, I was thinking about a small, but loaded two-word phrase – “REAL LIFE”. What does real life mean to me? Well, I discovered that looking each word up in the dictionary made it difficult to describe, since both had more than 15-28 different definitions.(Wow!) So, I just kind of meditated for a few minutes on the phrase and considered what real life means to me. A few words that came to mind Imperfect Transparent Difficult Harsh “A daily joy struggle . . . a battle between grudgery & gratitude.” (words from Ann Voskamp) . . .it’s not really what we make of it. . .but what we make of God (our relationship with Him) An endless cycle of mistakes and graces Living forgiven Ugly-beautiful I st...

In His Lo♥e, Ann
This is indeed the peace we need.. thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy first time here from Katie's site! Such a peaceful image, Ann! And, yes, I think on that scripture daily ... and of His peace. It takes effort to keep our mind steadfast with all the busy-ness in our lives, but somehow it happens, and I am grateful! Where would we be, what would our lives be like without that strong high tower to run to! That's where we find the rest we so need ... only in His presence!! Your site is wonderful with so much to check out ... my first stop, 'The Happy Wives Club' that I noticed down there in the left hand corner! I love quotes - especially positive ones!! :) You have a blessed week, and I look forward to visiting again!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found me Deborah! I also so thankful for God's peace that passes all understanding! You'll love Fawn's posts at the Happy Wives Club, too! She's an awesome lady! Come on back here soon!
