Special Days

Today is my baby girls birthday. Charis is 10 years old today. It is hard to believe my baby is 10. Special Days! Aren't they great? Charis spent the day with her mother as they were looking for her a cell phone. Charis thinks she has waited long enough to get one and since everyone else in the family has one she says it is her time. Thank the Lord for "family plans."

Charis, her name is actually the English spelling of the Greek word KARIS. The greek word means "grace." Aren't you glad for God's grace? Grace is God giving you what you do not deserve. The Word declares that it is "by grace" that we are saved and "not of works lest any man should boast." A am grateful for God's saving grace and I am grateful for God's keeping grace.

It is because of God's grace that we are not consumed. It is because of God's grace that He allows us to come "boldly before His throne." I am grateful for God's amazing grace ... "how sweet the sound!"

Everyday I look at my little girl and I am reminded of God's grace and blessings to me. Thank you Lord for your favor, your love, your acceptance, and your grace.

This is today,

Pastor Gary
