I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts. We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield. We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord. I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it. Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...
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.
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;

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.
Raygen and Mallory
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
