Grace - God's Unmerited Favor

I'm a big baby...when I'm sick. When I'm not sick I'm the "road runner". "Meep! Meep!" Get out of my way because I'm always on a mission to go somewhere or do something. I don't like sitting still, however, God keeps habitually slowing me down. I have had more physical challenges that I ever thought I'd have in my life! My sister says everytime I go thru an illness or physical challenge, I come out spiritually stronger. My question is, "Lord, how strong do you need me to be?" The scripture, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." is developing a whole different meaning to me.

When I think of the grace (unmerited favor) of God, I think of:
-My loving, caring parents who would do anything for me.
-A husband who loves me.
-An employer that understands the word "patient", even when the patient is an employee.
-A home that is my haven and comfort.
-A chihuahua that seems to be connected to my emotional state. When I'm down, he always does something to make me laugh.

'Nuff said. That's all I want to think about today. I just want to be grateful to God for his many blessings.
