Let us lift up our hearts as well as our hands to God in heaven.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are any among you suffering? They should pray. Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beginning of everyday is to give God thanks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for saving us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

though we do not deserve it, not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It matters not if we are doing well, or suffering terribly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most determinative thing in life is that, by Grace alone, God has set us right with God, saved us, blessed us with many gifts, and sent us out into life to be God\u2019s embodiments of that same Grace for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearts and Hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Voices<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Minds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And all we have<\/p>\n\n\n\n

giving God thanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a start, the best start, to a day of striving to do the best we can,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of fear of God, and love for God and thanks for all God gives to us to share with others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
