The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the LORD.  They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.  Psalm 92:12-15

What an interesting journey life is.  We can hardly wait to grow up and become an adult.  But along our life we seem to have developed some emotions that are less than stellar about what we look like and who we are.  It is in this condition that grace can renew, refresh and give great freedom.  For in the freedom of grace we will find a joy and strength that comes from the very life of God, it is called eternal.  No matter what our age is, grace can and will make our life new every morning with the joy of thanksgiving.  Today may you be refreshed by the promise of grace in your life.  You are meant to be the expressions, the voice and the attitude of God's love to everyone around you. What you say and do in the grace of our Lord can bring a beautiful delight to everyone you meet and at the same time make your day brand new.  Enjoy!
