Day 9: God's Grace

All week I have said things like, "I don't know how I'm going to do _______." I have certain obligations I knew wouldn't go away and having to do most of them has frightened me. I keep saying, "I know God isn't giving me the grace today that I will need on Monday". Scripture says 'His grace is sufficient' which means it's enough .... exactly what I will need to get through any particular day or moment.

I am so thankful for that grace today. Grace that Christ so freely gives to me when I am having trouble getting out of bed. Grace that helps me laugh at my girls when I feel so sad. Grace that sustains me, but also allows me to look ahead and feel hopeful. Grace that, during a time when I haven't wanted to read my bible, stirs my heart when I hear Scripture and know deep down in my heart I still love it more than anything.

But, more importantly, it's the same grace that sweeps in and saves Pam's family members and friends during morning worship service yesterday. What joy! She would be so very pleased.

Amazing Grace!
