Hey, I’d like to share with you a great story from BustedHalo.com. It comes from one of our bloggers, Caitlin Kennell-Kim. Caitlin has been struggling with some health issues over the past several months and is facing a kidney transplant later this summer. She has four young children, and an everyday experience as a mom is the starting point for her moving reflection, “Grace Is Enough.”
Grace Is Enough
My children – The Dude, The Princess, The Puppy, Reepicheep – and I travel down the highway on our way home from a playdate a few towns away. The windows are cracked to let in the breeze. The gentle whirring of our minivan’s wheels on the pavement has lulled them into a late afternoon nap. Well, almost …
From the middle seat comes a voice. A quiet voice. A voice just barely discernable over the sound of wind whistling through the windows. It’s The Puppy. She is 95 percent asleep, her eyes nearly closed. She is fighting sleep the way 3-year-old people are wont to do. I watch from the rearview mirror as her long, fine hair blows across her face. She is singing in her almost-sleep, “Your grace is enough, your grace is enough, your grace is enough for me.” (Click here to continue reading.)
Caitlin reminds us that God’s grace surrounds us and is available to us all the time. And we can experience it in unexpected ways and at unexpected moments in our lives.
