Abundant Grace

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
Ephesians 2: 4-5

From time to time we moms just need to know grace. Show yourself grace today - you can't be perfect (otherwise it wouldn't be by grace that you have been saved), and you won't be perfect. Show your husband grace today - love deepens when we see one another's faults and choose to love and serve in the light of them. Show your children grace today - forgive them without strings and help them put mistakes behind them (and you) once accounted for.

God shows us such abundant grace. We glorify God when we do the same for others, including ourselves!
