Today I’m linking up with Lisa-Jo at The Gypsy Mama for Five-Minute Friday.
Join me!
The rules: Write for five minutes. No editing, revising, or overthinking. Just write.
Today’s Topic: Graceful
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s me laughing Really. Really. Really. Loud.
Because graceful? Is soooooo not me. In terms of physical anyway. I’m a decent athlete/runner, but I have zero grace.
You know, the kind that dances and looks so beautiful and elegant.
Um, no…never known that feeling.
In fact, I remember my first dance classes as a kid and how they didn’t go so well. While my dance teacher didn’t kick me out at all, I seem to recall being “encouraged” to explore other areas of life.
Maybe that’s why I’m an artist and a musician. 
Have you ever seen that lovely episode of Friends when Phoebe runs? Here’s a clip for ya.
Golly, sometimes I wonder if that’s me. In a strange, paradoxical way, I’d be kinda proud if it was. This clumsy, totally lovable girl, making her tiny, memorable, mark on a great big world.
In all seriousness, though…graceful.
I’m a blessed child of God who has had the gift of Grace lavished upon her. My life is walking testimony of the fullness of His Grace.
And as I laugh over my clumsy tendencies and shake my head and giggle when I fall over nothing (which is often!)…I remember that I have real Grace.
May I never forget that, and may I choose to extend it to others, too.
Now I know where Maelie gets her grace-deficiency from. hee hee So thankful that God provides Grace aplenty.
Yeah, I’d have to agree with you on that one…we joke that she’s her momma’s daughter whenever she’s having a clumsy day.
Hello, Mel! This is my first Five Minute Friday; what fun! I laughed while reading your post and definitely relate to your thoughts regarding physical grace.
Could it be that you have a great deal more physical grace than you admit to? Doesn’t it take a great deal of grace to pull up a video, write a post{all}in 5 minutes?? I am in awe!!! I am a beginner!!!
Thank you, again, Mel, for bringing a smile to my face and for expressing God’s Grace in such a joy-full way. I have been blessed by this visit!
Hi, Paula! Welcome to Five-Minute Friday! And to blogging! So if I’m being honest, I think I blogged for a few seconds more than five minutes. Thankfully the video popped up quickly when I looked for it, otherwise it might have been a Six-Minute Friday or something non-alliterated like that…horrors! 😉 I’m so glad you stopped by! Have a great weekend.
You made me smile with your post-I love that episode of Friends!
God’s grace is so good!
Hi, Brooke! So that’s definitely one of my go-to episodes if I ever need a laugh. And I will even admit that I have “tried out” the Phoebe-run a few times. It sure does make running more interesting…and probably works my arms a little more, too!
Thanks so much for stopping by…have a great weekend!
