Your Grace is Forever

2/1/05 Our Father, we pray again for your blessing on this gathering. We thank you for prayers answered – for family and friends – for Amila’s return – for blessings we often take for granted. Encourage us to look beyond ourselves – to accept the shortcomings of others and to know your Grace is forever.

Moving this recipe box from my line of sight has triggered a few missed opportunities. I can’t post what Dad or Mom has written if I don’t see it. I can’t see what is out of my range of view. If it results in staying out of my mind and off my radar, for a good end…how much better for a selfish one.

Looking beyond ourselves could work the same, I reckon. “Out of sight, out of mind.”

Put no evil before my eyes, that I sin not against you.

If I am constantly looking at something it is in sharp focus, sometimes even macro focus. Too much information indeed.

But Our heavenly Father’s Grace is forever.

I love that Dad almost always capitalized Grace, it is a proper name.

It is proper.
