The hymn is "Grace Greater Than Our Sin" (or # 545 in the maroon book for any Tunnecliffe's that may read this) So the hymn includes the lines, "Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace freely bestowed on all who believe." and "Grace, grace, God's grace. Grace that is greater than all my sin." (I know it is OUR sin, but this is MY blog and I like to personalize my hymns!)
A number of things have come together to lead me to this hymn. First, over the past few days I have seen some very beautiful things like this.
(Thank you Vance & TJ)
And I have done some beautiful things with beautiful people and again in beautiful places, like this...
(Brenda takes better pictures - but you get the point)
And that reminds me of these verses in Psalm 16...
"LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance."
Then, I have been reading my daughter's and wife's blogs and they make me so proud and happy. If you read them you know what I mean. They remind me that I am blessed beyond what I deserve...that is what grace is all about. They also remind me that I am lousy at keeping up with a blog. So I came to write it all down.
I am humbled and very thankful today. I agree with David...
“You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.”
(Psalm 16:2)
This is a good way to start my week.
