Right now, the place in life I find myself in is somewhat limiting.  That is not a negative thing, although some may think so.  Limitations aren’t necessarily bad things.  A budget is a limit, and it protects from seeing overdraft fees at the bank.  Stop signs are limits they protect from getting into an accident.  I used to give the boys a limit on how far they could ride their bikes.  Now, they can ride their bikes as far as they want.  That’s because times have changed and those limits aren’t needed anymore.

Right now, my husband needs me, my kids need me, my dog needs me, my parents need me and my job needs me.  This means my time has demands on it which prevent me from doing some things I would normally like to do.  I have decided not to teach Sunday school to 3rd graders anymore, resigned from the missions committee, and stopped volunteering at LOVE INC. This way I can be home to do what I need to do.  I like my life it’s a good trade off.

But I still want to give something back to the “community”, to my church family etc.,  So, what I have to offer is this one thing.  My humble little blog.  Not very many visit here but I hope when some do they will leave feeling strangely human but touched by the knowledge that in the bareness of our humanity is grace.  A grace that wildly accepts us where we are at within our limits or out of bounds.  Grace that accepts us at whatever point we find ourselves in: the mountain peak or the deep valley.  Grace that encourages us to reach out with the same grace we have received and invite others to join us.

So this one thing I offer.  I will come here from time to time and I will write.  I offer it to Him and hope that He makes it what He wants it to be.
