Amazing Grace by John Newton

This year in Thanksgiving, I am forever thankful for His Amazing Grace.  My good Heavenly Father continues to love me inspite of my sinful heart.

These last days I have been found in such brokenness really searching my heart of all selfishness and found it full of it.  So many things I have taken for granted that for some reason I think I'm entitled to it.  Why has the Lord blessed me with three healthy beautiful children?  Because of His Amazing Grace.  Why has the Lord blessed me with a husband who seeks to grow in Him and learn more each day and who loves me?  Because of His Amazing Grace.  Not because I deserved any of His goodness, aside from the bounty of material things around me, His surpassing peace and faithful protection are just a few of the things I enjoy and am thankful for now knowing that I don't deserve any  of it.  I don't deserve a car.  We just sold our family car and are driving when can my husband tight little bmw.  But I thank God we have that, when many, many don't and many didn't in history.   I don't deserve anything really but the punishment but thanks be to God who rescued me and since the first hour I believed His Grace has been amazing.  He knew I would hurt Him by my actions.  He knew I would lie and cheat, and get angry and impatient.  He knew I would be selfish and foolish in many desicions.  Yet, His Grace was Amazing since the beginning because I am here surrounded by His bountiful blessings, by His goodness.  I bow low and say like the Psalmist, "what is man that you are mindful of him?"
