Pondering Grace

Grace, grace God's grace.

Grace that has pardoned and cleansed with in.

Grace, grace God's grace.

Grace that is greater than all my sin.

What beautiful words.

They keep running through my head today, reminding me that I am pardoned and cleansed. Because of Jesus' violent death and glorious resurrection. Because of His wounds I am healed.

It's finished and complete.

There's nothing else I have to do.

Sometimes I need that very simple reminder.

Stealing a line from a song we've been doing on Sunday mornings at church,

"Now Your grace is my anthem."

It certainly is at the Dodds' house anyways.

What brought on this pondering? Aubrey and I went "swimming" in our very tiny kiddie pool today. And by swimming I mean I was sitting in the pool and Aubrey was violently splashing and waving her arms and kicking her legs and squealing at the top of her lungs. After I brought her inside to have a warm bath, I took a warm shower myself. After her two hour nap, Aubrey had a bottle with organic milk and a supper of organic fresh fruits and veggies. And now she is playing with her baby dolls and "reading" books.

Kiddie pool? Grace

Swimming to cool off in the heat? Grace

Warm baths and showers? Grace

Naps in a cool and comfy bed with soft blankets? Grace

Organic? Grace

Fresh food? Grace

Toys? Grace

A house with air conditioning? Grace

Just overwhelmed today by His mercy and His grace and His provision. Even though TDodds is very very ill today and feeling quite under the weather (we are almost positive he has food poisoning), God's grace is still evident.

Have you pondered God's grace in your life lately and thanked Him once again?

Love you all.
