By Grace

(A Thankful Thursday Post)

Since I have moved into this house there was a special place that I wanted to put up some wall words that said "By Grace." It took me a while to get them up because I had to have them custom made. Most vinyl wall word companies don't just have this saying.  I finally found a place that did my words for me for a reasonable price.  Yay!  So, after a little over a year I get to walk into my house each day (or down my stairs) and see the words, "By Grace."  It is a good reminder because I would not have the life I have now if it were not for God's Grace on me.

~Grace= favor or goodwill, a manifestation of favor, especially by a superior, mercy; clemency; pardon~
 
By Grace I have my salvation

By Grace I live in this state

By Grace I have a complete family

By Grace I have two healthy, sweet boys
 
By Grace I have family who loves and supports me

By Grace I get to read my Bible and sing worship without fear

By Grace my heater works

By Grace we own our home

By Grace I have warm clothes

By Grace I have a comfortable bed

By Grace I am slowly healing and finding answers

By Grace I can homeschool my children and parent them by my values

By Grace I can see

By Grace I can walk and use my hands

By Grace I can taste and enjoy food

The list could literally go on and on because everything in my life is only because God gives me His Grace.  Grace that I don't deserve.

Let's not take for granted the Grace our Lord so freely gives us and take some time to reflect on the graces your have in your life this season. I guarantee if you sit down to think about it your list will be long too.

Ephesians 2:8-9
⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, ⁹ not of works, lest anyone should boast.
