A Devotional Journal for Mothers and Daughters  By definition, a grace note is an embellishment to a musical staff intended to add some extra, though optional, life or as some would say, "spice" to a melody. It's not always played, but when the conductor instructs the orchestra to "play the grace notes," they know that the song just took on new and added meaning.  In this volume of devotional readings, Paula and Melinda have offered some added "grace notes" to your life's melody for this very day. Read along, ponder the thoughts, and then add your own reflections to the provided personal journal pages. Most important, however, allow the prayer at the end of each reading to become personal to you. The entire experience will enhance the melodies of grace flowing from your own singing heart.
