Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too. Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway. We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20. We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Oh I love that song...don't you? God has extended so much grace to me. Just by His very grace and faith was I saved. Grace is simply unmerited favor. Nothing we deserve by no means but simply because God loves us so much that He wants to instill His grace upon us.

I've found that Grace enables me to make it! No matter what my need is or my circumstance God's Grace is sufficient.

There has been many times I must admit that I've thought His grace couldn't come soon enough!
Have you felt that way at times?

I heard Grace explained like this once. Grace is like a rescue unit. It is sitting there in its spot until 911 is dialed. Once the call comes in the rescue is on its way...lights flashing and sirens blaring. Rescue is on its way to meet your need! What a wonderful example of Grace!

Grace doesn't exempt us from trials; it takes us through them. Just when we need His grace it is there...extended with love and kindness.

There are things in my life that I have gone through that others have said, "I couldn't deal with that...I couldn't do that....I couldn't handle that....And I said that same thing to others as well. But you know what I have learned? If we've not been there we can't handle it! WE'RE NOT THERE!
But if we arrive to a spot in our life that is unpleasant, sad, overwhelming, frustrating, or etc., God will extend His Grace just when we need it.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
His Grace is all we need.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Oh my! What a much needed post Miss Cindy. I know that God's grace abounds me daily but here recently I have almost felt alone in certain areas of my life. You are so right! God's grace comes to us just in the nick of the time! Thank you for this Wednesday in the Word. So glad I logged on tonight! Connie Royals
