Day 3 - Stepping Stone 3

Postby Honeybee123 » Thu Apr 05, 2012 8:51 am

The server was down at the "usual" time I post...when my brain and the house is quiet. As with all things with God, He has His reasons.

As to Step 3's lesson, God's Grace, I am thankful that He bestows His Grace on me...on everyone...even though we don't deserve it.

Okay, I take that back...it's me who feels I don't deserve it. I stopped taking Communion for a while because I was angry (a whole different subject) and then after many days of prayerful meditation, I then did not feel worthy of His gift. I spoke with the pastor and he said that we should *especially* take Communion when we don't feel worthy, so God can work through us, through the Flesh and Blood of Christ.

I keep repeating in my head, the song I was taught when I was very small, "Jesus Loves Me" because that's all I can handle at the moment. It's the last song I sang to my baby boy. While the journal-section was down, I was able to find the counceling section on Animals in Heaven and that gave me great comfort, but I know that it is my selfish-self that acknowledges that I still have an empty lap and empty arms.

I know that with God's Grace, I will eventually find peace...I just need to keep praying for it and utilize all of the help that God has placed in my life.

Hello HoneyBee :)

God bless you this day.

I just wanted to take this time to say hello and to give you a link to a wonderful study on Communion, here on this site. I think it explains communion, beautifully.

Prayers are rising to our Lord in the name of Jesus, on your behalf. I pray The Holy Spirit comforts you. May God's blessed will be done.

Keep going with the Steps, they are such a blessing.

God bless and keep you.
In Christ Jesus' love,
Sister Mack
