WHY GRACE and MORE THAN ENOUGH

Dear friends and family,
My heart is heavy with all the tragedy of this week. Watching the manhunt on TV last night and into today has been hard. I'm thankful that one bomber is out of circulation but there is still one to capture. What is sad is that these young men are not the real enemy but are driven by the enemy of all of mankind. But they are the ones that will answer for what they have done and rightfully so. 
How do we go on after a disaster like we had in Boston and in West, Texas. So many lives affected and many for years to come. My prayers go out to all. What makes it possible to go on after any disaster of any
kind. Bombings, earthquakes, fires, murders, kidnappings, child abuse and illness, how do we continue in life. Heartaches run so deep and grief lingers for years to come. Having had a child molested and cousins murdered, the only way I know to get through the pain is the grace of God. Most of the world throw his teachings to the dogs and want no part of HIM, but often cry out for him in the last moments of life. I want to share with you, Why Grace and More Than Enough. Why is it that we need God's grace? God is more than enough to cover all out needs, heartaches and grief. Learn to lean on him in this time of great sorrow for our country and as individuals who are devastated. Those that love God and our fellow countryman  are reaching out to help and prayers from those that are unable to help in any other way. May you feel the love of God and his peace and the prayers and support of this great land we live in. God may not answer our prayers the way we want but he will be with each of us on our journey of grace. 


                                                              WHY GRACE 

If we have no purpose in life, then we have no need of GRACE. But, we do have purpose and we need Grace in our everyday walk. It is especially needed in these tough times we live in, that are often filled with conflict and doubts. 
Women of God are bathed in grace. Devoted and faithful, with the ability to overcome hardships and defeats. They have a desire to make the world  a better place for everyone. 
Men of God are also bathed in Grace to be a protector and provider for those under their care. They are the warriors and hunters, seeking to be a conqueror and hero. 
We must remember all things come from God. It is God's Grace that goes with us throughout each day. The grace of God heals, provides and sustains our lives. Grace brings peace in times of heartaches and worry. Safety and courage in times of fear and disaster. Sufficient Grace is the umbilical cord that keeps us connected to God.

Psalm 145:8-9
The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion: slow to anger, and of great mercies. The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all this woks. 



                                                           MORE THAN ENOUGH

Is there any way we can have to much of God? NO! He is all we need. He is the calm in the storms of life, that we all go through and he is our guard in the daily wars we fight. When we are weakest, he is our strength. Only God can bring us peace in times of sorrow. When we can no longer walk, he carries us. He is reason in times of confusion. He is more than enough for all our needs. 
     He is our healer in times of sickness. 
     He wipes away the tears of the broken and heavy heart.
     He is our courage and strength to face each day.
     He loves us, though hated by many.
     He is our encourager when we are down.
     He knows our every sin, yet forgives when we ask.
     He gently corrects us when we do wrong.
     He gives us peace and joy for our sorrow and pain.
On the day he dyed on the cross, he thought of each one of us and freely gave his life, that we might be free. He took our sins and made them his own, so that he could pay the debt, that we could never pay. Can we have to much of God, NO. When we allow him to have all of us, we will become a reflection of HIM.
