Thankfull for the small things
A while back my granddaughter had a difficult surgery, with a long term for full recovery. She had a bright outlook, and handled life with grace. One day I saw her FB post that impressed me as we all face life as it comes.
Everything Changes
Sawyer towers over me now, but I remember when a much smaller version of him used to stand next to me on the front row in church. For what felt like years, during the closing prayer he would reach over and wrap his little arms around my waist in a familiar hug. Casually, he made a habit of lavishing his love on me the way only a little boy can. Now he’s 17, and his last year of high school has arrived, his last year at home.
The Pursuit of Holiness
Beloved Christian, May God’s grace, by which He saved us through faith, abound in our lives to such an extent that we, like the saints of old, pursue holiness at any cost. We are called to be ambassadors of truth and representatives of God Himself to a world in need. With this in mind, we must recognize that sin is crouching at our door, intent on destroying the testimony of the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, which has led us to place our faith and trust in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
