My New Friend Victor

This video was the most beautiful showing of grace I experienced this week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvP_SPw7Mwo It is 12 minutes that I think you will find more than worth your time. Victor went to my church. I never had the privilege to meet Victor in person but I look forward to getting to know him in heaven.  I think we will be fast friends.  I love his calm, strong presence in the face of adversity. I love the freckles on his nose and his big grin.  I love his heart for his friends and family.  What a beautiful soul he has. Thank you God for showing us a glimpse of the beauty of Christ and all that it means to Hope in the Lord in the young life of Victor. I hope Victor and I get to be friends someday.  I hope you will get to meet him someday too. Love and prayers to the Watters family.

Introductions

So what’s with “Grace Gallery”? What does that mean? Well, Grace can be a couple things: elegance and beauty of movement, form, expression, or proportion, as well as, the free and unmerited favour of God shown towards man. A gallery, generally,  is an art display.


I wanted to create a place to display the abundant grace I see in my life-both the day to day beauty of the art that is life as well as the spiritual grace God gives (which is pretty much the same thing in my book anyway).

I love quotes, as you will quickly discover. Here is a compilation of the thoughts and quotes that came together to create “The Grace Gallery”.

“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain”-Paul, in a letter to the Corinthians

God is most satisfied in us when we are most satisfied in Him.-John Piper, (my pastor!)

Let’s live on purpose.-John, my husband

People see God everyday, they just don’t recognize Him.-Pearl Bailey

Add some sugar and spice and everything nice, mix well, let it sit overnight and ta-da! The Grace Gallery.
