Hebrews 4:16

Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

God's Grace. Do you sit back and watch people, see them as they go about life either in the Grace of God or not aware of the Grace of God.  It is thru the Grace of God that you believe, it is thru the Grace of God that you receive mercy.  

It is not on your own abilities that you love life but on the grace that God gave you.  Why do you doubt what God gave you?  Embrace your abilities, strengthen your abilities but most important of all is share your abilities.   For it is thru the Grace of God that you have them.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all my Irish friends and those that wish they were Irish.  

 

Paddy suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store. 

The store clerk called 911 when they saw him collapse to the floor. 

The paramedics rushed Paddy to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open heart bypass surgery. 

He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital. 

A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clipboard loaded with several forms, and a pen. 

She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.   "Do you have health insurance?" she asked. 

Paddy replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance." 

The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?" 

Paddy replied, "No money in the bank." 

Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?" asked the irritated nun. 

Paddy said, "I only have a spinster sister, and she is a nun." 

The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters! 

Nuns are married to God." 

Paddy replied, "Perfect.   Send the bill to my brother-in-law."

 

I hope Irish eyes are smiling.  

1 John 4:4b

The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
