Saying Grace

Say Grace......

 not an uncommon phrase around 

dinner tables in many Christian homes today.

 At least those who are still in the practice 

of dinner time

 table sitting together

 routines.

What a great reminder that Grace

 is not something you say before a meal--

It's a Way to Live.

Especially as we enter this Holy Week,

 and think of the suffering of our Savior.

"And  the God of all grace,

who called you to His eternal glory in Christ,

after you have suffered a little while,

 will Himself restore you

 and make you

 strong, firm and steadfast.

To him be the power and glory 

forever and ever. Amen."

 1 Peter 5: 10-11 

Our time here is short,

it is Christ who makes the Life in Grace.

He gives me the power to go beyond-

 Saying Grace to Living Grace.

I rest in the LIVING HOPE of my inheritance.

Because of the Cross.
