Grace and Mercy

In my early 20's I didn't really understand grace. I searched the scriptures and eventually realized what grace was when my father died.

Most people realize what grace is when you walk through a storm of life and God gives you the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Grace and Mercy 

In a World of darkness all around, I seek Him 

God is all powerful, omnipresent and omnipotent,

Though all the world looks dim. 

Today I thank God for the Grace to lift my head. 

The Grace to get out of bed. 

and the Grace to bow my head. 

I thank Him for the Mercy to hug my girls.

The Mercy to stand as my world whirls.

and the mercy to find hidden pearls.
