garlands of grace

March 24, 2014November 8, 2021 Ellen Lebsock

Wisdom She’ll garland your life with grace, she’ll festoon your days with beauty.” Proverbs 4:9   Grace is undeserved favor. It is mercy when I don't expect it or deserve it.

one thing

August 24, 2012January 12, 2022 Ellen Lebsock

 One thing is clear to me.You can't know everything you'd  like to know.You can't do everything you'd like to do.You can't read everything you'd like to read.You must hold  onto some things and let go of others.Learning to make that choice is one of the big lessons of this life.

unfriended

August 22, 2012January 12, 2022 Ellen Lebsock

As you enter the house, give it your greeting. If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.
