Graceful Living

1 Corinthians 1:4  (NIV) – “I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.” 
     Wow! Time is flying. We are entering the beginning of the first week in the fifth month of the year.  I always think of May as being such a pleasant month. By now the up and down cold days are mostly in the past; the onslaught of rain from March and April soon diminish; perennial flowers are in full bloom; and the awkward persistent heat of June has not yet descended.  May can surely be thought of as the month of grace.  It houses not only better weather, but great celebrations and holidays. 
    The ‘GRACE” that God provides is renewed every morning and it is sufficient to meet all of our needs. The unmerited favor of God’s love gives us “graceful living” and it is a feeling that we should all want to share with others.   At some time over this weekend set aside some quality time to give back to God by paying ‘it” forward.  In essence think about ways, means, times or situations where you can dispense into others (then do it).  Don’t talk about it too long; don’t put it off; don’t worry about whether every ‘I’ is dotted or every ‘t’ is crossed; just take the time to smell the roses; enjoy the best of God’s world and try to make it a better place for someone by paying-it-forward.
     Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day.  Don’t be distracted; stay focused on your purpose.  Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
