Forgiveness for Bitter Days

How often do we as believers in Jesus Christ sin? In my current reading Max Lucado says, "to sin is to "fall short" Romans 3:23".

Lets think about it this way....

"Worry is falling short on faith. Impatience is falling short on kindness. The critical spirit falls short on love"

"How often do you fall short?"

Remember falling short does not mean God has kicked you out of the game, but it does take you asking for forgiveness to get back in the game.

We all fall short... when you do get back up... ask for forgiveness... and continue... God still loves you....

I'm Reading

Yes, you read it right... i am reading an exciting book, titled, "Everyday Deserves A Chance", by Max Lucado. My husband is an avid reader of Lucado's books. He loves everyone of them he has read... Are children also love the Hermie and Wormie children's books. I began reading about 3 days ago and let me tell you I have enjoyed every minute of this book. I am not a big reader, in fact I am not a reader at all. My husband usually laughs at me, when I read a book, b/c I once told him "if the first line doesn't catch me, I am not reading it", therefore the books I read are few and far between.

The book I am reading now is so wonderful... God is really showing me how to appreciate each day I am given... I just wanted to share a small portion of this book.... Max says it this way,

"Gratitude is the firstborn child of grace, the appropriate response of the blessed".

If you are a blessed person always remember this... God is so grateful to us let us be grateful for even the ungrateful days in our lives.
