We have been studying God’s Grace in Adult Sunday
school this fall. This study has allowed
me to become more aware of moments of God’s Grace in my life. Here are a few that I have been pondering
this fall:
- My nephew’s first baby was born in September (now Charlie has a cousin! ).
- My younger son, Chris, insisting that we sleep on our living room floor during hurricane Sandy so that we would be protected from any large branches falling on our house in the woods. So, I took some pictures of our preparations to re-assure Chris.
We
gathered all the soft quilts to sleep on—but it still felt like we were
sleeping on the hard floor!
Not
at all comfortable- - it made me remember why I hate camping out!
And, we put all
of “valuables” by the front door in case a branch did fall and we had to get
out of the house quickly…
- My older son, Mike’s joy at becoming an uncle and trying to visit and see Charlie as often as he can.

Speaking
of Charlie’s first Christmas, I have made him a Christmas stocking. I got the free pattern from http://bit.ly/RgE0zz . Here’s a picture of the
pattern from the website:
And, here are some pictures of Charlie’s stocking
with a few little additions to personalize it with pockets and a “C” for
Charlie:

In
recognizing all of the times of Grace in my life, I have realized that I can
extend Grace to others in many ways. We all
can be the hands and feet of Grace:
Dear
readers, I hope you think of and appreciate moments of God’s Grace in your life
during this
Holiday
season.
My wish for you this year is that you have a
grace-filled Christmas and an awareness of all of the times of God’s Grace in the
coming year.
Love, Mary
