SURPRISED BY GRACE

 

Long lift lines, packed parking lots and expensive tickets made the mountain unappealing, so we trudged north through the notch up to Bretton Woods; we had packed no lunch, so we ambled into the Mount Washington for a late brunch. The feast that met us was truly spectacular.

Graces come to us from the hand of our loving Father; we need only ask for eyes to see. What was to be a stressful day at a busy mountain turned into a refreshing late morning at a resort. The winter scene, the wreaths and vestiges of Christmas fed a part of our hearts we didn't know hungered.

Truly the day was a gift of grace from God the Father. I wonder if you are in need of grace? Ask God and He will supply grace upon grace.

Medicine from Sacred Writings:

"And of His fullness we all have received grace upon grace..." John 1:16 God Himself is the very Fountain and Root of all good, very Life and very Light, and very Truth, not retaining within Himself the riches of His good things, but overflowing with them unto all others." 

John Chrysostom Fourth Century
