God's Amazing Grace

Yesterday I was blessed to go to church and worship. No pressure of things that needed to done, things to check on or people to see. It was just God and me.
In fact I went to the drive-in church at Daytona Beach. (Harley and my nephew Josh slept in.)What a different feeling having church in your own car. Yet my windows were down, I could feel a soft breeze and I could hear the people around me singing in their own cars. I was filled with God 's spirit. The church field was packed and the week before they had over 50o in attendance for two services . I guess God's church can come in many faces.

This past week at the beach has been such a blessing for me. Because of Harley I have met a variety of people from a variety of places. One little girl, I call Gabby touched my heart. She was 10 years old and she had Downs. She had a smile on her face that could light up any room. Her younger sister told me that she danced, did gymnastics, and was a cheerleading, but her sister couldn't do anything because she was special needs. Gabby did not understand that she was special needs. Instead she told me all her favorite shows, her favorite singer was Hannah Montana and that she loved all the shows on Disney and Nick. Gabby thought her life was great! I wish I saw my life as good all the time. She told me, I was her new friend and that she loved me. she touched my heart.

In my heart children with special needs teach us many things. The way they see the world, the way they love people, the way they can bring a smile to your face. Gabby taught me about God's Amazing Grace and love for all humankind.

Take a moment to be with God. It is amazing what it does to your soul.

POEM
No place to go...

No place to go...
No place to run...
Spending sometime with God and his son.

Its been so long since we have spent sometime
just God and me in our prime.

I have been so busy that's my excuse.
My time with God, has not been used.

Yet now I am not in a rush.
I have some time to stop and hush.

No place to go...
No place to be...
Now there is time for God and me.

Time to listen, laugh, and cry.
with Jesus by my side.

It truly is amazing you know.

No place to go...
No place to run
Spending time with God and his son.

Peace,
Kristi
