When I was little, whenever I was clumsy there was inevitably someone nearby who said "Hey Grace! Where'd ya go to charm school?"
"Grace" had a negative connotation to it; definitely not graceful. Many years later, I found out that my given name, "Nancy" was a version of the name "Anne" meaning can you guess? Grace!
Even later than that I found out that Grace was something that comes from God. He loves us so much, but doesn't expect us to perform for Him with perfection. He just wants our hearts. He loves us no matter what!
We can apply God's Grace to our lives in many ways, and we NEED to do that. Next to Salvation, I think that Grace is first runner up. However, "works" sometimes wheedles its way in there and muddies things up.
A dear friend and veteran homeschooling Mom with a ton of wisdom wrote a great entry on Grace in the Homeschool. Go read what Kim has to say on the subject. You will be glad you did!
Have a GRACE filled homeschooling day, ok?
Blessings,
Nancy
p.s. I will be ending a contest this week on my blog, be sure to comment to win a free issue of the Girlhood Home Companion, ok?
