“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9 (ESV)
Wow, here we are in the month of September. It has been two months from my last post. Not sure what happened? My summer has been really busy at work…and it is still hot here in the Valley of the Sun.
The word ‘grace’ has been a huge part of my summer. I have messed up in couple of areas of my life; but I have been extended grace by many people, and specially by God. I have again turned the wrong way (running in front of God instead of waiting on Him).
Once I have realized how much grace I have had received, it made me think about the times I did not extend grace to others. So this summer I have been intentional extending grace to others. It makes life much calmer or even smoother.
I am very thankful for God hand’s in my life; especially for His amazing grace.

God is good, indeed. Your post makes me think of Lamentations 3:22-23.
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
I appreciate reading this verse this morning, Iris. Thank you for hosting for us this month.
Hugs,

Hi Iris,
What a beautiful post. I’m overwhelmed by His grace. It is sufficient for me. Amazing.
Thanks for hosting us. Sending you a hug. Have a wonderful weekend. Love, Lynn
Receiving grace is one of the biggest eye openers for me to the need to extend it. I pray the rest of your year is filled with strength and blessing.
Loved this post and the verse is one that was a life verse for me when I was a young mom. His strength is made perfect in my weakness-what a promise.
Have a blessed day.
Hugs, Noreen
The anti-spam word is Mercy. Aren’t you thankful for God’s grace and mercy? Where would we be without it? I dare to think. Happy Thankful Thursday! Have a great three day weekend, too.
Very beautifully put. Thank you for sharing and hosting. I love reading people talk about what they are thankful for.
As we receive grace we need to extend it. Everyday I need to remember this. Thank-you for your post and for hosting today.
Wonderful post, I am so thankful His grace rains down on me! We are blessed!
Thank you for sharing and hosting.
Blessings,
