Sooo I've been thinking about grace...

I love Romans.  I love that Pastor took us through the book of Romans.  This verse and ones surrounding it have been ruminating in my heart...churning around like the butter we made during pioneer days when I was in the 3rd grade.  I had the coolest teacher - Mrs. Saunders.  Her husband setup a real teepee in our schoolyard and I remember having reading group out there.  I remember Mrs. Saunders wearing a pioneer woman dress and teaching us history.  We didn't know it was a history lesson at the time...we just thought we were actually pioneers on an adventure.  

This whole idea of preferring one another is grace in action, don't you think?  I've been thinking about grace a lot lately...and how I need to infuse my relationships with Jesus and His love.

Today I prayed, "Lord, show me how to properly prefer _________."  It was a quick prayer...and as I waited for direction, He filled my heart with a peace and He provided me an answer.
