Serenity and Grace

“All men who live with any degree of serenity live by some assurance of grace.”

Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

Morning Grace

When I hear the peaceful sounds of the early morning: birds singing, the chatter of children gathering at the school bus stop, the neighbor's garage door opening, I know that everything is all right with my world, and I am living in grace.

Growth of Grace

“The growth of grace is like the polishing of metals. There is first an opaque surface; by and by you see a spark darting out, then a strong light; till at length it sends back a perfect image of the sun that shines upon it.”

Edward Payson (1783-1827)

Mystery of Grace

"That is the mystery of grace: it never comes too late."

François Mauriac (1885-1970)

Store of Grace

“A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next 6 months, nor can he inhale sufficient air into his lungs with one breath to sustain life for a week to come. We are permitted to draw upon God's store of grace from day to day as we need it.”

D. L. Moody

A Place of Peace

Grace is finding a place of peace, whether it be a garden, a good book, or simply being.
