When The Coyote Has Your Tongue: Glimpses of God's Grace

Walking through the shadowy forest one morning, I halted and gasped in startled delight at the beauty that was on display before me. The forest was interwoven with a network of glittering strands of silver light that connected trees to shrubs and thorns to bluebells. When I moved back, the glorious sight vanished. Stepping ahead, the dazzling array reappeared. Surveying the scene around me, I realized every path forward was intersected by these glittering webs of light. Regardless of where I tread, these silken threads would cross my path. Yet, if I had not looked up to see them, I would have blindly moved forward and never realized the beauty that intersected every step I took.Reflecting on that day, I cannot help but think of God's grace that covers the vast, ordinary aspects and the constant, small details of our lives. His grace can be found in the unexpected thorns and the colorful surprises that cross our paths. Each day, we can catch a glimpse of his grace - if we look up to see it. God's grace transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, reworks the unbearable into the endurable, and converts the perplexing into the inspiring. When the Coyote Has Your Tongue chronicles stories in which I have witnessed God's grace. I hope these will encourage your heart, and through them, you will come to see glimpses of God's grace in your own life.
