Not measuring who deserves it, just giving it freely, just the way God gives it to us. " But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." Luke 6: 35-36 Grace is easy to give when it feels deserved. Someone apologizes They acknowledge they were wrong They attemp

Responding with love instead of frustration, even when people don't deserve it. "Be Kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:32 Grace is easy to talk about......until it's time to actually live it. Grace comes easy when things in life are going as planned, people are friendly and life feels light. What about when someone cuts you off in traffic making you slam on your breaks with the kids in the back? When s

Teaching our kids to turn to God when they feel worried, scared, or unsure reassures them that He is always there, and helps them to trust in Him. Have your little ones ever come to you with bad dreams, nervous about a big dance at the school, worried that they did something they can't fix? Ask them: "Have you ever had a worry that just wouldn't go away?" Tell them about God's Promise: God listens when we talk to him He cares about every little worry Nothing is too small f

"Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 We, as human beings, are obsessed with having control over our lives. It almost feels natural, right? We want to plan, fix and figure everything out before it even happens. We hold on tightly because, in our minds, control feels safe. But the truth is, we were never meant to carry it all. Each of us has a specific path, one that is already seen

For most of us, life takes over and days are full. Between work, school, meals, after school activities, and everything in between, it can feel hard to slow down. When you finally make it home it's dinner, showers and bedtime. Faith usually gets put on the back burner and then it's, " we will do twice as much tomorrow." It doesn't have to be that complicated. There is no perfect plan or an extra-long lesson, you just need a few minutes and a willing heart. Here's a simple 5-

"The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth" Psalm 145:18 Some days feel put together, like you can accomplish anything. Other days are messy, rushed and most of the time overwhelming. In those moments, it's easy to think we need to "get it together" to have everything perfect before you go to God. We Tell ourselves: "I'll just pray later; I am too tired as we continue scrolling through social media." "I'll read my bible when everything is quiet

"My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9 There are moments when failure feels louder than anything else. Maybe it's something you said, a decision you made, or just one of those days where you feel like you fell short in every way.
