For the Grace of God

Father, thank You for making me alive in Christ! I declare that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour, and because He died for me, I can live the abundant life here on earth. Help me stay focused on You this day & live with the enthusiasm that comes from knowing You in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Another day has launched and my position is to move forward

What shall I post here today?

The reference is to Helen of Troy in the famous 'Iliad"

Helen was wooed by many, but was finally married to King Menelaus of Sparta. She was seduced by Paris, a Trojan prince and carried off to Troy. Menelaus was not prepared to see her go lightly and launched a thousand ships to go to Troy and get her back.

Hence the phrase that Helen had the "face that launched a thousand ships"
