God's Amazing Grace.

It is so wonderful to see God's truths revealed in our children. A while back my children were taught and learned that God NEVER makes mistakes. I feel so blessed to see my children learning and remembering the truths that we are teaching them daily about God. I know that those truths we teach them will be what they use to shape their lives. I am so glad that I have his Word to use to supply them with the tools and truths that they will need to serve and please Him.

I am so thankful to the Lord for his unconditional forgiveness. I know that even as a parent, I still make mistakes. I find comfort in knowing our parent God doesn't. We can trust and rely on his wisdom and guidance. The peace and joy that fills my heart and mind knowing how Great a God we serve. It is so comforting to see how God loves us and shows us his trust by blessing our homes with children to teach and instruct into his Way.

I read from Acts 10 today to my children. It was about Cornelius and Peter. Also how God does not show favoritism. How God wants us to live by his word and share it with those who are interested, without hesitation b/c of what we may think about them. God may have placed us in the situation we are in to serve the right purpose, His purpose. I believe God causes situations and circumstances to rise up for us to participate in his will and purpose. After all, that is why we have been created and chosen to serve God and his will just as Jesus did. Exactly why God has blessed us with children to teach and instruct them to serve him and be steadfast in obeying him and his word.

34. And opening his mouth, Peter said:
"I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality,
35. but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right, is welcome to Him.
36. "The word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all)
Here is one verse I am going to add to my memorization list. Quite similar to Romans 10:9-10, but easier to remember. I even think my children could learn it.

I just love putting God's word in my mind and heart. It is like a spiritual first aid kit, when we need repair we use his word to heal the wounded areas in us.
43. "Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."

This is the start of a new month and new habits and routine, so quite possibly a new me! Praise the Lord for second chances and the opportunity to be able to change and become more like him and how He wants us to live. God's Grace amazes me. I see everyday and frequently more so how much Grace he showers on each of us. I am blessed and in awe to be at the receiving end of so much Grace. Thank you Lord for your unconditional love, forgiveness and grace.
