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 with 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?

This week flew by and was a lot of fun! Lydia and I each had the day off on Monday, due to Presidents Day. After her dentist appointment, we went shopping and ended up at the bookstore. She read a book while I worked on a project. We enjoyed a pretzel, too!

Work went well this week, and I enjoyed my time with patients and coworkers! We even had a departmental social time which involved root beer floats. I am grateful!

On Wednesday, we went to church for AWANA. Lydia did well, and I was proud of her for helping others learn their Bible verses. Those kids are really precious!

On Thursday evening, Lydia and I met a friend’s new baby. It was cute seeing Lydia hold him. She is really into babies right now, and I enjoyed her excitement.

Speaking of Lydia, she’s growing up fast! She has been making several of her own meals (with some supervision). For quite a while, I have been finding sweet little love notes all around the house. She leaves them for me in various places, including on my calendar, my coffee pot, my bathroom mirror, my nightstand, my treadmill, etc. This week, she even cut out a note with sliced beets!

We had some frigid temperatures early in the week, but this weekend has been absolutely gorgeous! It was nearly forty degrees and sunny today, prompting me to finally get my car washed. It probably won’t stay clean for long because now the snow is starting to melt! Lydia and I ran some errands and stopped by Caribou Coffee for a treat today.

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)!
