You may have seen the acronym GRACE as God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. Grace is also God’s unmerited favor, or God doing for us what we cannot.
I find grace overflowing with God’s love, joy, peace, blessings, mercy, power, provision, protection, and wisdom. Thank You, Jesus!
Where did I find God’s love and favor—His abundant grace—this week?!
This week was fairly peaceful, which was very much appreciated!
I really loved our normal family Zoom time, but also had a couple of extra visits with my niece, Lily, and nephew, Alex. They asked if I was available, and I told them I am always ready to chat with them. At four and five years old, they are at really fun ages!
Tuesday brought precipitation all day, and we received around four or five inches of thick, wet snow. However, the drive home was easier than the last storm, and I was praising God for that! When I got home, Lydia was excited to make a root beer and snow slushie!
The weather was pretty cold again. I slipped on some ice, but didn’t get hurt too badly. I wonder if anyone saw me fall and land on my backside! I tried to laugh it off, but it did jolt me a little. I’m feeling much better now!
Work was busy, as usual, but it went well overall. I only worked a half-day on Thursday because Lydia and I had eye doctor appointments. And then, I took Friday off just because! I’m grateful to God for helping me get my work done in a timely manner so I could be out of the office!
On Thursday, I also took Lydia to the driver’s facility to obtain her learner’s permit. In our state, they can get it at fourteen, so I let her take the test a couple weeks ago, although we could not find time to pick up the official permit until Thursday. For now, I will just have her practice the basics in parking lots. We are both eager to get started!
On Friday, my day off from work, I ran several errands, got a massage, did some easy housework, and organized some paperwork. It felt really good to get so much done without rushing!
This morning, I made my coffee and a little heart appeared in the milk foam. It was like a kiss from Heaven. It could have been overlooked, but I felt it was a good reminder of God’s love. Jesus is always calling out to us; may we notice and tune ourselves to Him.
Today, Lydia and I practiced driving for an hour in a large parking lot after she completed some chores. We also did some Christmas decorating. Otherwise, we just did Saturday things, and I made a delicious vegetable soup!

These are only a few examples, but God’s grace never runs out!
There’s grace in every situation—we just need to look for it. God promises if we seek Him, we will find Him (see Jeremiah 29:13)!
