The Grace Garland

On I-65 in Alabama, located at exit #107, there is a sign that says Grace Garland. I've passed it often and I know that the sign indicates that there are two towns off of this exit; the town of Grace and the town of Garland.

My imagination has been captured by the phrase Grace Garland. I reflect on the sins that I commit, strung together, and cluttering my life with ugliness. I imagine the Lord covering those sins with a garland of grace. His grace upon grace upon grace, strung together to make my life a thing of beauty.



As I travel the same stretch of highway, God speaks to me with a literal sign about his love, unfailing grace, and forgiveness of sin.
