Only God’s Spirit gives new life.
The Spirit is like the wind
that blows wherever it wants to.
—John 3: 8a [CEV]

A Time to Think … “I do not understand the mystery of grace — only that it meets us where we are and does not leave us where it found us.”  ―Anne Lamott, American novelist, non-fiction writer, and pursuer of knowing God

A Time to Act … Each day we awaken is already filled with the grace of God. We don’t have to look for it or even ask for it, it is there. Instead, we need to take off our “worldly blinders” and open our eyes to see and ears to hear how God’s grace will be our ‘second wind” gently yet powerfully blowing throughout every moment of our day. Embrace it—breathe it in and never toss it aside, it is God’s gift for you-always!

A Time to Pray… O God of Grace, Love and Truth, give me a new focus to live in the now, experiencing your grace-upon-grace in my life. Close my eyes from that which harms me and draw me closer to you where I find hope, stamina, strength and a new resolve in faith walk-today, and every day, AMEN.
