I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him. Lamentations 3:24-25

What a wonderful journey life is, even with all its highs and lows. The joy of falling in love and finding that someone else loves you as much as you love them. Wow, what a refreshing time that is, and as wonderful as that is, it gets even better with age. When our Lord becomes a reality to us instead of some kind of belief or religious system, his grace begins a refreshing renewal in our heart and mind. Let us remember that his grace is his love expressed and given without condemnation, ridicule or overwhelming sorrow. With grace we find the joy of giving more than receiving and now our thinking and emotions can really enjoy our journey. On this new day may you enjoy the Lord as your portion, knowing how much he loves and enjoys you. May everyone you meet see and hear your hope and joy in him and allow your soul be filled with thanksgiving. His grace will do things through your life and speech that will blow your hair back and it will feel like you have lost weight.
