I've had a long lesson in grace this week.
The book definition is incomplete. I have seen an overwhelming sense of God's presence and love, and I feel this is His grace.
No, it's not relief, which I also feel, but a sense of His care for me, for my family, for the ones that love Him.
We all knew that God provides in His time. He does. He did.
Many things to celebrate this week: wedding anniversaries, birthdays, a new job, healthy bodies, connections with the people who matter most to us.
My third son has been gifted an opportunity to play a Bach fugue on a pipe organ tomorrow. He is ecstatic. I hope the experience doesn't disappoint! Expectations are very high.
I am aware that God has mercy, grace, and love for us. Expectations of His power never disappoint.
I hope this encourages you.
