Grace like Rain

Can you feel it?!

It is pouring down all over you! Look up, close your eyes, taste it on your lips, and then take a drink from the only source that can satisfy your deepest longings.

God's grace is like rain pouring down all over me and my stains are COMPLETELY and TOTALLY washed away.

Just One More Thing

Say NO to laundry and YES to a walk.Cuddle up and read just a bit longer...Shut the phone off, sit on the floor, and play.

enter into their world and laughplayimagineand remember what LOVE is in their eyes" There's always,
'just one more thing'

There's always another task
There's always,
'I just have one more small favor to ask'
And everything is urgent and everything is nowI wonder what would really happen if I stopped somehow
'I'll be there in a minute'
'Just a few places to go'You wake up a few years later and your kids are grown And everything is important But everything is not At the end of your life your relationships are all you're gotAnd love to me (your children) is when you put down that one more thing and say 'I've got something better to do' And love to me is when you walk out on that one more thing and say 'Nothing will come between me and you Not even one more thing'There will never be an end to The request upon your time It's your place to stand up and tell the world You've got to rest awhileAnd everything is important But everything is not At the end of your life your relationships are all you've gotAnd love to me is when you put down that one more thing and say 'I've got something better to do' And love to me is when you walk out on that one more thing and say Nothing will come between me and you Not even one more thing"
