From Grace Home
“The
heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.”
Psalm
19:1
What
an awesome display of God's majesty was shown to us all on February
12 th with a soft blanket of snow (about 6 inches total). While
looking out over the property, we were reminded at how truly blessed
we are. Wonder filled the eyes as each snowflake fell and rested
upon the ground. Many were reminded of mountains back home, and
family and friends. Now is the time to reflect on what the Christ
Child would do for each one who accepted Him. By His mercy and grace,
He would blanket our sins and remember them no more. He has made
us whiter than snow.
We
extend a heartfelt thanks to God's people (the Church) for their
support and blessings during the past holiday season. The out-pouring
of your time, resources, companionship, and testimonies of God's
redemptive work in your lives uplift each one here at Grace Home.
In His many blessings, we count each of you one by one.
Thank
you to Father Scott, of the Epiphany Church of Eutawville, for arranging
a day trip to Camp Saint Christopher for the ladies and staff. Even
though the temperature was in the thirties, we bundled up to enjoy
exploring the beach, wading in the water, having a delightful lunch,
and enjoying a soaking prayer.
When
Winter comes, we realize that Spring is not far behind. We are beginning
the work of preparing land and planting crops for the upcoming year.
The ground has been tilled, fertilized, and seeds planted. In God's
time, when He is ready, we will reap the harvest of diligent hands.
This
reminds me of Jesus' teaching in the parable of the sower:
Sow what? The Word
of God
Sow when? All the
time
Sow where? Everywhere…but
hopefully on good ground!
Hebrews
4:12 – “For the word of God
is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing
even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Each
lady entering Grace Home has the opportunity to start a new life
in Christ; forgetting those things which are behind, building a
firm foundation with God through His redemptive word.
Thanks
be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
In
Christ,
Nita
