Grace

Grace is my grandmother on my father's sides' name and I used to think it was blah, old-fashioned and just not a name i would name my future children. But today, and i think its been long and coming, my view has changed:) ha ha. What i am trying to say is, grace, just the concept of it is something right now in my faith that i can hold on to and believe in with all of me! Driving in the car today I've been repeating the U2 Song "Grace" and i would like to share the lyrics.

Grace, she takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name (my favorite part of the song! listen to it)

Grace...
It's a name for a girl
It's also a thought that, changed the world
And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything

Grace, she's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma, karma
She travels outside... of karma

When she goes to work, you can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty in everything

Grace...
She carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition

What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings...
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

Grace finds beauty in everything
