Grace by Grace...

Happy Monday beautiful hearts!  I hope that your weekend was blessed in amazing ways!  Yesterday my family celebrated the baptism of my niece.  Anyone that knows me, knows that I am so head over heals about this little girl.  Our whole family is smitten with this angel!  When I think of love, she's now the first image that pops to mind.  

We all soaked her in during the church service yesterday, and she couldn't have had a more stellar moment.  She was in awe of the pipe organ, mesmerized by her cousins, cuddled up in her mama's arms and then she so warmly received the embrace of the minister.  

As I watched the minister baptize her, I was again reminded of the innocence and benevolence that lives within each of us.  The minister shared her with the youth and then processed her throughout the congregation.  My niece, SK marveled at this walk.  She willingly traveled throughout the pews and soaked in all of the new faces.  These faces vowed to support her throughout her journey.  

Cindy thoughtfully delivered her sermon in accordance with SK's baptism.  As she recounted passages from the Bible and tales of modern day living, I couldn't help but stare in SK's direction.  She quickly moved from her mom's arms to peering over the pew to catch a glimpse of her cousins.  Her little spirit was so full of joy.  

Cindy's sermon moved at a pace of grace.  As she shared her message, she reminded the congregation that grace isn't reserved for a chosen few, it is a tangible loveliness that is offered to all.  As I looked in SK's direction, I couldn't help but be excited for the grace and favor surrounding her, and then as I gazed down at my own heart, I felt a shiver run up my spine as I remembered that this grace lives inside of me as well.

No matter how old you are or where you've journeyed- the elegance of grace is yours.  It's easy to observe grace in a new baby- their lives are brimming with opportunity, but so is yours.  After years of living and loving, can you still see and feel the compassion of life beating beneath your chest?  

May you feel grace upon grace as you begin this new week!

May You Sweetly Seek:-)
In gratitude, 
​Sarah

What a wonderful description of the ceremony! I so enjoyed watching her on Sunday as I sat in the choir loft! Interestingly, my elder son, who is now 23, was also carried around and through the congregation on his baptism day, and like your niece, looked at everyone's face very closely!
