Yes, I agree with you, it is "certainly a daily work of grace." Stay faithful, my friend. God has us.

It's...Alan, thank you for your thoughtful post. It's so easy to get distracted, or enraged by the horrid, tragic goings on in the world around us. Yet still you remind us, in the midst of it all, God so loves the world and needs us to keep showing the world that love. I try my utmost, by his grace, not to be one who adds to that pandemonium clatter. I long to walk in his royal law of love, being kind, graceful, patient, and all with a sense of humour - wherever I go and with whomever comes across my path. It's certainly a daily work of grace.Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-67497978840595273892020-07-22T12:28:08.095-07:002020-07-22T12:28:08.095-07:00Hi Tracy.

I sympathize with folks facing hardships, the worst kind of ship to sail. I also cheer on people who accomplished something good. My anger and sadness is AT what folks do, not the people themselves.Bruce Atchison - authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16956436260379779297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-28586710149764568342020-07-22T08:20:11.404-07:002020-07-22T08:20:11.404-07:00Beautifully said, Alan.

This brought to mine the video of Mr. Rogers inviting Officer Clemmons, who was black, to join him, as he cooled his bare feet in a tub of water on a hot day. Officer Clements said, “I would, but I don’t have a towel.” <br /><br />Mr. Rogers, lifting the towel on his shoulders, said, “You can share my towel.” The officer then removed his shoes and socks and joined Mr. Rogers. The title of the video is “Won’t You Be My Neighbour?” At the time of the video, many white people didn’t want black people in the same pool with them.<br /><br />“God so loved the world. . .” The whole world. John 3:16 doesn’t say anything about exclusion of anyone. Thanks, Alan.Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.com
