Anticipating Grace
Today, February 10, 2010, we're anticipating the arrival of our seventh grandchild - Grace Emsley Gallimore. She will no doubt change this world, especially the world of our youngest son and his wife, Grant and Casey. So many lives will be touched, hearts will be warmed, normally rational adults will all of a sudden begin to speak in a non-understandable gibberish known as baby-ese and all Grace did was show up. She will just be who she is and she will win the hearts of multitudes of people simply because she came. She will bring something into this world that only she can bring: Grace.
As a result of her coming, parents loose their identity in her name. Family albums will be filled because of her. Conversations will now be about Grace. What Grace does, how Graces smiles, longs for others attention, desires to be held and loved. "Grace does this" and "Grace does that", those who love her will say. "Have you met Grace?" On and on it will go and all for one reason: Grace arrived!
I can't help but think that it should be that way when God's grace arrives. Grace engulfs our conversations. Grace causes us to loose our own identity. Grace causes us to speak in terms that only those who've come to hold her, love her, and cherish her will be able to understand. "Have you met Grace?" "Grace does this" and "Grace does that". On and on it will go and all for one reason: Grace arrived!
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love. 2 John 1:3 (ESV)
