Last night while reading one of my favorite books (A Pale Horse by Wendy Alec) I was overcome with gratefulness and awe at how gracious our God is.
From a part in the book where a stubborn man realizes he has given up one of the best things that ever happened to him, I cried. Just like him I don't deserve my husband, my children, shoot, even this life I live. God saw it fit that I got these gifts back after nearly losing them to my own stupidity, and even made me appreciate them more. Why now do I see what I have? Because I nearly lost it all for good! Not just by divorce or losing parental rights, but I nearly lost my life while my husband and I were split 6 years ago. I may have told this story countless times, but it makes me more and more grateful every time I tell it. God's grace is multiplied when I realize these are not the only gifts He has given. I have received healings, financial help, acknowledgement among peers, but more than any of these things He calls me His! I am His Daughter!! I have a Father who claims me and fights FOR me! Who gave His Son's life up for me. Wrapping it all up with reminders of how much He loves me, like when my husband kisses me, my children hug me and hold me. I am loved beyond my faults and I am so so so grateful! I hope today you can sit back and ponder His amazing Grace...
Love and Prayers,
Shevonne
