The theme for January will be habits and for this reason I’ve decided to link up with this theme with my series and word for the year: Grace. I need to make grace a “habit”. To always accept and acknowledge it.
Please join me on this journey? What is a habit that you need to form?
We have made a water feature in our garden and Butch thoroughly enjoys it!
This post is part of Michelle’s weekly pet challenge please stop by and look at all the amazing pets.
I love challenges and this week I’m taking part in Cee’s Share your world challenge. She posts some interesting questions and then you respond 🙂 This way others get to know you better.
Do you have a signature dish? If not is their one in your family? I don’t have a signature dish. If I have to say I would say it is any kind of stew. My mom makes the best macaroni and cheese.
Do you have a favorite board game? I looove board games. I would say Monopoly is my all time favorite.
Is there a household chore that you enjoy? I like washing dishes. But not drying them! Since my elbow injury I have a dishwasher now.
What is one thing you will never care about? I’m not sure. I like to do research and know things. Mmm I’ll come back to this one when I’ve thought of something.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? I am grateful for Christmas and the fact that our Savior came to earth. I am looking forward to 2015. Can’t wait to see what it brings.
something done or granted out of goodwill, rather than from justice or for remuneration; a kind act:
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.” James 4:7
So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.
Eph 1:6 NLT
From these two verses we can KNOW that God gives favor. His grace to those that belong to His Son Jesus Christ.
This favor is eternal life and forgiveness of our sins.
To belong to Jesus Christ is the most important aspect of my life. What a comfort to know that God is with me always and that through His Son I have eternal life. To read my testimony you can go here.
If you read here and you do not know Jesus as your Savior yet all you need to do is say a prayer and talk to Jesus and ask him to be a part of your life. If you do not want to do it alone go to a Christian friend or church they will surely help you. Otherwise you can contact me.
I feel amazed and thankful that I can go into the new year with the knowledge that Jesus Christ is with me especially since the events surrounding Christmas are still fresh in my memory. How does it make you feel to know that God gives His grace through His Son?
According to the dictionary Grace means:
Dictionary.com states the following:
elegance or beauty of form, manner, motion, or action:We watched her skate with effortless grace across the ice.2.a pleasing or attractive quality or endowment:He lacked the manly graces.3.4.a manifestation of favor, especially by a superior:It was only through the dean’s grace that I wasn’t expelled fromschool.5.6.favor shown in granting a delay or temporary immunity.7.an allowance of time after a debt or bill has become payable granted tothe debtor before suit can be brought against him or her or a penaltyapplied:The life insurance premium is due today, but we have 31 days’ gracebefore the policy lapses.Compare grace period.
I’ve decided to join One word for 2015. The word I’ve chosen is grace because it is something that I’ve thought about a lot since October. In October I did a series 31 Days of blessings and that made me realize the amount of grace that I’ve received from God as well as the amount of Grace that I need. Please follow me on this journey in 2015. For a list of posts in this series please click here.
Day 1: 2015: A year of Grace
Day 2: What does grace mean?
So Christmas has come and gone but I have a burning question. The whole world is focused on Jesus (whether fully or in part) There is a Nativity scene usually between the Christmas trees etc in stores. What I’m trying to say is that all of us is confronted with Jesus at this time of year. The question is What are we doing with this knowledge? If you see yourself as a Christian you carry Jesus with you every day. Please don’t leave Him at the stable?

It is 5 December. 20 Days before Christmas and I have a lot of thoughts and questions. I’m thinking about the year that’s passed and the year ahead. My family and friends. The role of Jesus in my life.
I have questions about Christmas- the real meaning and how are Christians supposed to celebrate it? What is it about? Should Christians have decorations and Christmas trees or should they just quietly celebrate it.
Please join me on this journey of discovery.
I’ve come across some fellow bloggers that are blogging specifically about Advent and Christmas. Please stop by their blogs and have a look.
Until next time,
Amanda
