GRACE

The other day, feeling rather down by this whole situation, My oldest and I went to Costco.  I got my purchases and as I was leaving, the lady to check my receipt said, "Hello ma'am how are you today?"  My usual response, "Fine thank you, how are you today?"  Her response was, "Blessed". 

I almost started crying.  As I walked out, I realized how much grace and love GOD had extended to me-a sinner.  HE saved me with HIS grace.  HE's carried me through many circumstances with HIS grace.  HIS GRACE is sufficient for me.  I just needed that reminder. (I almost went back in a gave her a hug and told her thank you.)

Not that much of the circumstance has changed, but I know I have grace when I'm feeling low and I think HE's not listening.  HE knows...and for that I am very thankful of.  I still make mistakes, I still need HIS forgiveness.  Some days I feel I'm as far away from HIM as I could possibly be.  My thoughts are on temporary things of this world and in HIS still small voice HE whispers in my spirit and the utterances come through.  That ALWAYS amazes me!

I'm reminded of this song...http://www.brucecarroll.com/imstillhere
Blessings until next time!
