The Good, The Bad & The Grace....

 Life isn't perfect. Nor am I perfect, but by the grace of God I have the opportunity to live in joy, peace and harmony  daily. Once in awhile it is still a struggle. In those times I humbly surrender the challenge and watch what God can do with it. I choose to be transparent with where I am in life... to do this I must share both the struggles and the triumphs. I am creating a legacy of faith, hope and peace and love for my children, grandchildren, friends, coworkers and others to see. It's an awesome responsibility leading a family or an organization. But, in the end we learn from sharing the good, the bad and the amazing grace of God. Are you trying to be perfect or create the perfect life? Chances are it's with a phony smile and a false sense of what happiness is. Can I encourage you instead to put that same energy into being transparent and letting down the walls? Those same walls that guard your heart also keep the love, hope, harmony and grace from penetrating through.  Is it time to begin a new legacy today?
