Fruitful Thursday, I Mean Friday!

This month I've been exploring the fruit of the spirit, kindness. Two weeks ago I shared my in your face experience with kindness. Last week I shared that I felt kindness was a word that simplified the meaning of God's grace. And this week, when I was floundering with schedules and time I decided to extend myself some grace and not worry about posting Fruitful Thursday "on time" - so I'm a day late, and I'm okay with that.

It felt so good to release the pressure I had placed on myself that I had to ask - When was the last time I extended myself some grace? It had been a long time. So I ask you...

When was the last time you extended yourself some grace?

When was the last time you shushed that little voice in your head that tells you you haven't done enough?

Or that you haven't done it well enough?

That you can't do anymore?

That voice, my friends, is the deceiver. He wants to crush our spirit, destroy our self image and rob us of grace. Don't let him. Grant yourself some grace, your husband, your children, your neighbor. Forgive.

ForGive grace.
