God’s Grace. My Grace.
First let’s talk about God’s good grace — His unmerited favor on us. It was God’s “Amazing Grace” how sweet the sound that saved ME and saved the day FOR ME way more times than I deserve. And, close to home, was God’s grace to my beloved nephew many times over in his life, but…
He Did it Again
I love telling the “He-Did-It-Again” stories. You know. Those stories that verify “All things work together for good to those who love God and are called for His purposes” (Romans 8:28). Case in point. While organizing my office supplies, I ran across an iPhone 6S Plus that I had before purchasing my iPhone 11. First,…
It’s Snowing Somewhere Today
I’m feeling the love. God’s love, that is, because yesterday morning, while driving to church, it started snowing. I was thankful to be here to see it in typically-never-gets-snow Austin. When we came out of church, there was a good “sprinkling” of snow on the ground and it was still falling. Brennan put on Blake…
Just a Little Talk with Jesus
A couple of months ago, when I was taking care of my two grand-dogs (the big furry, 85-pound Australian Shepherd and the 5-pound Yorkie), I didn’t let their leashes out too far when we went for walks. If another dog came along, I had them close-at-hand to keep them from getting too close to trouble.…
My Grace Needs Help
I’ve heard and sung about God’s amazing grace all my life. Though we make mistakes and have not-nice attitudes and are so weak in our faithfulfulness to Him and His grace, He loves us so deeply anyway. Grace — His unmerited favor — is always helping us in our weaknesses. “But He said to me,…
Finding the Lost Diamond and the Lost Coin
I was inspired for this blog today by a friend’s good news yesterday. She posted: “Praise report… my engagement ring had lost the diamond about 2 weeks ago. Bruce and I tore apart the house and cars looking for it. No diamond. We pretty much chalked it up to being lost. We have had a…
God’s Grace. My Grace.
Maybe, like me, you’ve heard countless sermons and read books about grace. Maybe you know some of the “grace” scriptures by heart and can quote them to others. But my prayer is that we’ll see this word again for the first time. I think grace is most fully understood through our own experiences. Otherwise, it…
Thanks God for His Amazing Grace
As I sit at my computer for hours editing the final manuscript of a soon-to-be-released book, I start to think “Thank You, God, for your amazing grace!” The author, young wife and mom of two young children, not only survived breast cancer but is knocking the ball out of the park with her story of…
