And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.  Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.  1 Thessalonians 5:14,15

 Can you imagine living in a place where people stopped offending, stopped condemning, stopped irritating and stopped sinning against one another?  Living in a place like that, what would marriages be, what would a neighborhood look like, what would be the mood of the community?  Well, this is what is intended to happen to a man or woman who has come into contact with the grace of God given in and through Jesus Christ.  Our nature is renewed with the desire to bless, overwhelm with goodness and forgiveness and to live a life that can be the music people enjoy listening to and seeing.  Today may your journey of grace be the song that everyone can see and hear with joy.  May your marriages, your neighborhood and your community be blessed because of what the grace of our Lord is doing in and through you.  Grace makes you a man or woman of God, so go ahead and delight yourself in our Lord and this new day will blow your hair back.  Enjoy!
