Grace For Me

make me laugh when he said, " Awww, what’ s the matter Mom? Are you missing your dinosaur friends?" His teasing about my age never ceases. Some days it’ s funnier than others.
At the end of days like today I try my best to remember God’ s grace. I think about the times I’ ve forgiven someone who has let me down. I know in my heart that god will forgive me too when I’ m not perfect and have let him down.
At the end of days like today if I look closely I can see just how blessed I really am. My family is here with me and we’ re all healthy. I’ m proud of who my kids are and what they stand for. My husband is still the greatest guy I know. We’ ve got a lot to look forward to in the next stage of our lives.
At the end of days like today I pray. I remember that to have faith is to believe in what can’ t be seen. I know The Lord was with me today when nothing went right. I know he was with me on that joyful day last week, and I know he’ ll be with me tomorrow no matter what it brings.
At the end of days like today I will lay my head down in peace. I’ ll stop beating myself up and let the bruises heal. I will be still and know He is with me on the days that are extra good, the ordinary ones, and even the ugly ones. I will know that I have grace for today, tomorrow, and every day.
