Always Room For Amazing Grace   Sunday, May 31, 2015

​

Open House at camp had just ended.  We were loading tables.  I was gathering trash bags.  Busy, busy, busy!

​

In my rush, I was saying goodbye to a family.  As we chatted, the mother of a young girl told me her daughter could sing Amazing Grace in Cherokee.  Through some of Mom's coaxing, I heard 2 1/2 verses.  It was so sweet.

​

Was I busy?  Yup.  But I made some time to listen to a little girl sing her heart out to me.  She blessed me.  And I blessed her because I took the time to be involved in her life.

​

Speaking of taking time out of a busy schedule, 2000 years ago, (give or take a few), Jesus stepped out of eternity into our time zone.  He took time to live 33 years and die on a cross so He could be, not just involved in our lives, but so we could become His children.

​

Though it was really important for me to stop gathering trash yesterday to show love to a child, it wasn't really that amazing.  I enjoyed it.  But Jesus taking our punishment for sinning against Him in the first place?  That's AMAZING GRACE!!!
