His Grace is Sufficient for Us!

What another beautiful August day the Lord has blessed us with today.  While I was reading in 2 Corinthians 12:9 I was reminded of that God's divine grace is constantly available. God chose not to remove the thorn, as requested by Paul, but instead continually supplied him with the grace to endure it. Think abou it a minute the weaker we become the more clear God's endless grace shines forth. Paul didn't rejoice in the pain, but in the power of Christ that it revealed through him. 
So it is a good reminder to be content in our weaknesses,insults, stresses, 
persecutions and difficulties for Christ sake; for when we are weak, we are made strong. (vs. 10)
The venture with the new pain medication didn't go as we all had hoped it would. Instead I had a pretty bad reaction to it, being sick all night and most of today with a racing heart that wouldn't calm. Left with a weak voice , huh? was the common response around here as I spoke today. Maybe I was to practice being quiet and work on being a little more meek as well today. . . 

Lord willing rest is on the horizon so I will close and wish you all blessed evening
(or morning whichever it maybe for you).
