These words graced my Facebook page this week and I had to share.
“I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I want to be. I am not what I hope to be. But still, I am not what I used to be. And by the grace of God, I am what I am.” John Newton(1725-1807).
John is probably known best for his hymn “Amazing Grace”.
I thank God this thanksgiving for showing me over and over about His Grace!
If you are looking for a great to give this Christmas season- I recommend Grace for the Moment a daily devotional book by Max Lucado. Totally a inspiration and beautifully bound.
How has God’s bountiful grace affected you today?

I love the word "grace!" I'm so thankful that God's grace is new and fresh every morning and that even when I'm way off course, God's grace catches me every time.
