The Elementary Bookworm

One Little Word

I read about this first over at Farley’s blog, and then here at Ali’s blog.

I pretty much love it. Resolutions are so hard to keep, but one word? I can do one word.

The Good Lord knows I am the kind of girl who needs Him right-there-in-my-face. (Anybody else?) So, when this word popped into my head I knew it was Him talking. And who am I to argue with Him?

So that’s my word. And the more I think about it, the more I want to hold tight to it. 
I want to show more grace – to my husband, my family, my friends and those precious faces in my classroom every day. 

I want to seek His grace. Daily. Hourly. Minute by minute.

I want to accept His grace. That’s the hard one for me. Accepting his mercy, clemency and pardon. Yep, those 3 words hit me pretty hard.
Did you pick a word for this year? I’d love to see it! Leave a link for me in the comments!
