Giving Godly Grace

Giving Godly Grace Giving Godly grace calls us to walk In God’s sweet embracing footsteps of mercy’s tears, Vital in vivacity grace births the soul of eternal vitality, Infused gratuity – no small tokens but tips of profound charity – Gracious orisons from the Master’s overflowing favor. Grace glimpses Genesis’ handwriting spoken - it is good - Oblation in offertory pushing aside offense askance - Dawning grace glazes gates locked by incense taken Lifting us up, like a Samaritan lifts the wounded from shared dust Yielding pride’s stubbed toes of smug rightness to yesterday. Grace - gift of perfection intoned in pure harmony – Raised relief, benediction’s signature written An apple of God’s eye handed to us in ribbons of forgiveness, Consecrated on two wooden beams at the edge of oblivion, Endowed with eternal favor – gift for us to exchange again and yet again. 5-18-21 Contest: Giving Godly Grace Acrostic Sponsor: Regina McIntosh

Thank you so much Jan! This one is special in that it called for many moments of meditation on the essential nature of grace only to realize I had not even scratched the surface of this wondrous, always giving, freely given gift! Hugs :D

Hi W.A.! What would it be like, or what could we do, without God's grace. I cannot imagine the dark hopelessness of life without grace and mercy. Thank you for your gracious message. Prayers and blessings to you! So good to hear from you.

Thank you so much Heidi. This was inspired by a friend who reminds me in situations that challenge me to give God's grace instead of something I will regret. I loved this theme. Giving grace is truly a Godly honor. Blessings of grace to you!
