Good Grief Good Grace

I turned the handle, icy cold water poured out

and then I noticed the ladybug.

Within seconds, it was pummeled, wings spread wide as it tried to fly.

Imagine that tiny bug staying afloat.

It circled in a fury, one way then the other, almost losing the battle.

I was amazed at its ability to fight and that the shock of the plunge alone hadn’t done it in.

I reached down and stretched out my hand.

Imagine my delight when it found its way to me.

Then I lifted it up and placed it where it would be safe…

Imagine, just like that God offered me His Grace.
