The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. ~ Philippians 4:23

I have been so blessed in life, especially during the most difficult of times. The blessings I speak of come through the Christian community that surrounds me. This loving community is able to be a blessing to others because each person has been given God’s gift of grace. Grace allows each of us to think and do better for both ourselves and others. To greet and support each other in Christ Jesus  A heart full of God’s grace nudges us to recognize others hurting, hungry or in need  Grace gives us the empathy to reach out, hold a hand, give a hug, make a meal or just “walk with” someone hurting. Grace extended to others can bring them a welcomed strength to move through their difficult period. Thank you to each and every one of you that has offered God’s gift of grace to someone at a time they needed it most.

Loving God, Thank you for filling each of our hearts with your Grace. Guide us to use your gift wisely, with keen senses and gentleness. Amen.
