Hebrews 2:9
but we behold Jesus, who has been made a little lower than angels, crowned with glory and honor for having suffered death, that he by God's undeserved kindness (grace) might taste death for every man. | |

We're gracious when we listen silently to one another's pain.
We're gracious when we are strong for someone else. We're gracious when we hold another to our hearts or allow ourselves to be held. We're gracious when we uphold our principles; not because of ego but because it is right. We're gracious when we give love no matter what the cost. We're gracious when we lose but are not beaten. And we're gracious each time we rise and face a new day with undiminished hope. -my friend Kevin Coy | |

to paraphrase maya angelou (and i'm bold enough to do that), "many of us say we aren't eloquent. The most eloquent thing you can say is 'I love you'". | |

thank you az...
i love grace, the very concept and display. i'm seeing it as a combination of age, beauty and experience or inexperience with shaky confidence (but confidence nonetheless) | |

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

Amazing grace!
How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace. When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun. John Newton 1725-1807 (stanza 6 Anon) http://elmadartista.tumblr.com/ http://twitter.com/madartista | |
