"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

Something I hear people say a lot is this: "I cannot imagine facing the things you are going through...I could never do it." It's amazing the things one cannot imagine doing or facing--myself included. I have friends who are enduring trials and troubles of all sizes and shapes. I, too, cannot fathom facing those things. Two years ago I could not have imagined the things that were in my future. Looking back I know it is only the grace of God that has seen me through it all. It strikes me that God's grace is as big or small as any situation I may face. It is "one size fits all." As I need it, God's abundant resource is always available to meet my every need. It will not be used up or insufficient.

Since coming home from the hospital last Thursday, Malcom has continued to weaken and decline in health. He did, however, summon up the determination to attend church on Sunday so that he might witness the baptism of our friend Joe. Each day he grows weaker in body, but stronger in spirit. He doesn't complain, but shows concern for others and especially for me. I am becoming aware of the "dying grace" that others have spoken of which I see the Lord giving not only to Malcom, but also to me and our children. In this time of our lives, God's one-size-fits-all grace is much needed.

"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16
