In Proverbs 1 we read great imagery about grace.
Hear, my son, your father’s instruction And do not forsake your mother’s teaching;
Indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head And ornaments about your neck.
My daughter’s little girl loves to stand in my
closet and stare at my necklaces. She looks them over and points out ones she’d
like to drape around her own neck. The look
on her eyes as she wonders and chooses makes me melt, and I pick out one and
let her wear it. It warms my heart that
she enjoys wearing something of mine.
Good instruction that we receive from our fathers
and mothers is like a pretty necklace for our necks or a crown for our heads. In fact, they are “graceful.”
It looks good on us when we wear in obedience our
Father’s instructions as well. It’s an
adornment that others see and stop to adore, wonder, and want to wear…as well.
Is your “closet” full of grace for your
children? Are you constantly peering into
your Father’s closet to see what of his that you can wear?
It might be something to think about and do!
