His Grace is sufficient

Sunday was homecoming at our church and we had a wonderful guest speaker who at one time was a Pastor at our church.

His focus for the sermon was on God's Grace.

While his wife suffers from breast cancer and is currently hospitalized, he still came to us telling us all about God's grace and the hope and peace God has to offer us.

Sometimes, when you are sitting at church, you just know that you were meant to hear what the Pastor had to say and this was one of those times.

There are days when we tend to feel sorry for ourselves because of all the "stuff" that goes on in our everyday lives.  Stuff like kids fighting, parents getting older, family dysfunction.  What?  You don't have any of that?  Well, I'm not saying I do either, but sometimes it can be overwhelming.

But today, I was thinking about all the stuff in my life that isn't perfect, and after I named every situation off as I prayed about it, I thanked God that I had all that stuff.  I have a family that I love, my mom is still here, and I am still able to help her.  While I am busy with kids and graduation, and grocery shopping, and ball practice, and everything else that goes on.  He was right, his grace is sufficient.
