Meaningless?

God's grace is something that flows through every part of our lives, even the smallest details and the things that seem common and everyday. Do we live like we believe this? This was the discussion at our meeting this week.

We took time for each of us to share what activities make up an average day for us and how we can take the opportunity to recognize God's grace in each of them. We decided that it would be a good idea to put notes up around our houses to remind ourselves of God's grace. An example of this would be a note on the washer or dryer to remind you to thank God for the gift of your children as you wash the mountain of laundry they have created. You could also put a note on the vacuum to remind you what a blessing your pet is in your life even though they shed everywhere!

Do we treat God's grace as the greatest gift we have ever been given? We found that many times we treat God's grace like a meaningless bag of trash that we have set by the back door to deal with later. It is sad but true.

I think the biggest thing that we are learning in our times together is to adopt an attitude of gratitude for everything God has given us! When we take the time to recognize His blessings and grace in our lives, it can really make a difference in how we live! We truly don't deserve the amazing gifts He gives us!
