There is nothing like a weekend retreat… a time to get away
and truly focus on something other than the everyday stuff of our lives. This
past weekend I had the privilege to attend our confirmation retreat. We had
twenty one of our finest 5th-9th graders with us. We
learned loads about the church and what it means to be a Christian. We played
games, ate snacks, enjoyed the great outdoors, and worshiped. It was amazing.
Grace was one of our topics. Grace is a gift freely given
that is not earned or even deserved. God’s grace is there before we know Him,
as we claim Him, and all the days that follow. There isn't anything we can do
to earn this Grace. The action we can
take is to accept it and pass it on.
I can only imagine what our world would be like if we were
half as gracious to one another as God is to us… Goodness gracious, what an
awesome world it would be!
