Finding Grace #64

I love giving God a shout out for what He has done. We don’t do that nearly enough!

You may have seen the acronym GRACE as God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. Grace is also God’s unmerited favor, or God doing for us what we cannot.

I find grace overflowing in God’s love, joy, peace, blessings, mercy, power, provision, protection, and wisdom. Thank You, Jesus!

Where did I find God’s love and favor–His abundant grace–this week?

Even with a full schedule, this week felt relaxing. I worked as usual, and one morning, my coworker and I cleaned our entire office. We cleared out desks, tossed unneeded items, and reorganized our bookshelves and drawers. It felt great!

This week we met with two different families who are moving away. On Tuesday, we met with a dietitian friend and her two younger girls. They are moving this next week to Kentucky for her husband’s job. The other family is moving to Minneapolis for work. I helped them load up their moving truck and vehicles yesterday. It’s always sad to say goodbye to dear friends, but this is one instance when I am thankful for social media!

Other than that, it seemed we had a slower pace. I met with a friend at church to pray Thursday morning. Then, I went to the bookstore to write a bit. A friend watched Lydia that morning so I felt unrushed. Praise God!

This week I washed all my windows inside and out. It’s not a job I do often, so the outside definitely needed cleaned!  I also sprayed all of the siding with water too. Also, Today I mowed and did yardwork.  I feel so accomplished!

These are only a few examples, but God’s grace never runs out!

There’s grace in every situation—we just need to look for it. God promises if we seek Him, we will find Him (see Jeremiah 29:13)!
