“As I sit here this morning at my desk I can’t help but think about the Lord and all of His grace and mercy that He extends out unto each of us..I think about all of times that we’ve failed and fallen short..and messed up and done things and said things..that wasn’t intended but things happen..and at how even than the Lord in His tender loving care comes right back up along-side of us and each of us and gives love and mercy..and so much grace..for God’s grace is in and of itself simply amazing..I mean it covers all of our shortcomings..and all of our sins..1 Peter 4:8/Proverbs 10:12..Amen..but more than that I’m thankful that God isn’t like we are when it comes to loving and caring..and showing grace..for we in and of ourselves will deal with people for but a moment really..and than we get pretty frustrated with others and their sins..and their shortcomings..and we get to the place as to where we don’t want to be around them or even associate with them..because we get fed up with the mess and we get tired of seemingly saying the same things to them day in and day out..Amen!”

“But guys aren’t you ever so thankful that God is not like us..that God doesn’t get frustrated by us and our sins..that He loves us beyond all faults and all failures..for you see the Lord knows that we are only made from the dust..Genesis 2:7/Genesis 3:19…and as well He knows us for He made us..but more importantly aren’t ya glad that when we maybe do stray away from the pathway or get to wondering just a bit..that the Lord will leave those ninety and nine and comes to find that one that was lost..Matthew 18:12/Luke 15:4..Amen..for God’s grace is simply amazing..and today I’m ever so thankful for it..for where would any of us be without it?..Psalm 124:1-8..I couldn’t imagine where I would be if it had not been for the Lord..but more than that I guess the whole thing about it all is that when we consider others and who they are that we ourselves don’t forget who we we’re?..for we all fall..and we all have fallen..and let us never forget the many, many times that the Lord reached down and picked us up from the mud and that miry clay..Amen!”

“For the Lord is no respecter of persons..and neither should we be!..Acts 10:34/Romans 2:11-16..Amen..for our goal in life should be to share the gospel to a lost and dying world..and if we’re not loving them while sharing it..than guys they’ll never hear it..Amen..for love covers them multitudes of sins..and more than ever now is the time to share that love like we’ve never shared it..and to give grace like we’ve never given it..being the Lord’s hands and feet..for we all need each other in this thing that we all call life..and we all need to be kind, caring and compassionate while doing so..walking in the light as He is in the light..having fellowship one with another..1 John 1:7..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
