“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
~ Ephesians 2:8-10
- I am thankful that I am saved by grace through faith. It hit me again the other day. I didn’t need to ‘clean-up’ my act for God to love me. He loved me before I loved Him. Isn’t that a great thing?!? You know, you can come into God’s presence without being good! He makes you good :razz:.
- I am thankful that I was part of the Blog of Beauty awards. Although I didn’t win an award, I was a joy for me that I made it to the finals this year – thanks to all of my readers. Visit Sallie’s blog to find out who won which award and visit them. There some wonderful blogs out there.
- I am thankful for my hubby, who cooked dinner on Tuesday night after a ‘Wobble Head” Monday.
What are you thankful for this week? God is Good, all the time!!! Even though you might not think that way in the moment, because you are having a rough day or week or month. Just remember, He is faithful to you and will guide you and if needed He will carry you through…

This is one of my favorite verses.
God’s grace doesn’t come with a lifetime guarantee — it comes with an eternal guarantee. How mind boggling is that? Out of the billions of people here on earth God knows and cares about each of us as individuals. That promise never fails to fill me with joy, awe and praise.
Blessings!

I Love Your post and it is Good to know that others are out there taking it just one day at a time to get to God.
What am I Thankful For! I am Thankful That God accepts me as I am and that He sees that heart and what is in it no matter how much we stubble. He is always Standing with his Hands out to pull me back up again. I think of when My childern were first begaing to walk and the way I would hang on the straps of there jumpers to help them and steady thier feet. I feel at times that is what God is doing for me.
Yes it is only our Father above who accepts whatever we may be or whoever we become. This one’s very true.

Your thankful brought tears to my eyes…. Yes, it’s so great to know that God loved us first before we ever loved Him. Sometimes it’s so hard to try deal with life’s blows and wonder if he is pleased with us at all, but we don’t have to try so hard because all He asks for is that we love Him back! 🙂
