Amen Grace

I keep bumping into Grace lately--

Grace, Grace, God's Grace  
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within....


Mercy there was great
And Grace was free....


But my favorite encounter went like this:

Lily Grace: Please sing 
Me: What should I sing?
Lily Grace: The Amen song
Me: The Amen song?
Lily Grace: Like mommy sings-- Amen Grace
Me: ....... OH Amazing Grace

A Child's Theology

Last night, I was helping put the kids to bed. They were diving from mommy's bed onto Malachi's mattress on the floor. I told them it was dangerous and they had to stop. Lily Grace did, but Malachi kept "sneaking" back onto the bed and "accidentally" falling off. 

"Malachi, you must stop jumping."
"I know, but my body does it anyway. Why won't my body stop?"

Wise words from a four year old. 


Romans 7:15 New International Version (NIV)
​
15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
