This morning in sunday school we talked about God being righteous. Watching little kids learn about God has got to be one of the most privileged things ever, and I'm so glad that I have that privilege.
The service today was good too; I heard the word grace so many times and the phrase "All we've ever known is grace." and I have been thinking about that all day long. All I've ever known is grace.
I think about grace and how much I truly am surrounded by it daily. It's grace that lets me do the things that I do, have the relationships that I have, and even know the things that I know.
I wouldn't have a wonderful job where I get to be a role model to children if it weren't for grace.
I wouldn't have good relationships with family and friends, and Thomas, if I didn't have grace.
I wouldn't know the things about God that reassure me of His love for me if He did not have grace and mercy.
Even today I deserved grace, and I can pick out the little moments that I had immediately wish I could've taken back. One thing that I have been reminded of recently is that when you say something hurtful whether on purpose or out of stupidity, you can't take it back no matter how much you wish you could just rewind.
Because I have learned that so much fresher than before I want to try and really think about what I say and the effect it will have on the person I say it to before I say it.
One more comment about grace; It is God's grace and forgiveness that gives us the ability to have grace and forgiveness towards others. Thank you, Thomas, for always having grace and forgiveness for me, even when I feel like I'd be better off if I crawled under a rock than ever say another word to anyone.
