At our SOLD class last month, we were looking at how the Reformation is represented in the book of John as well as how reformation happens in our own lives and in our church. As we discussed the types of reformation that we see a need for, one of them was the need to love people in the way they feel it and receive it rather than the way that is easiest for us.
This probably sounds trivial and I know I need to consider how that thought would apply to my life on a bigger scale BUT I found one application of this reformation in GLITTER. I think allowing my girls to play with glitter is high on their list of top ways to show them I love them.
Even though it was not convenient and I knew it would create a mess throughout the house, I decided it was worth it. And it was! They spent over an hour decorating the pumpkins they picked at Owen's farm on the Chapel School trip.

One of my friends suggested that as I spot specks of glitter throughout the house, I can be reminded that it is the light of Grace shining throughout my house. So, I am thankful that there is Gospel even in the glitter!
