It's a gorgeous fall day here!  Are you enjoying it?

I want to tell you about a contest, but first I want to tell you about a sign I saw at a craft bazaar this weekend.  It said "Good Morning~ Let the Stress Begin!"  I thought it was pretty funny, but unfortunately, a bit too close to home.  We have had a lot of stress lately and are having some trouble breaking out of a pattern that has formed.  With the recent passing of my Mother, and some health issues here PLUS job related stress, we have been doing quite a bit of focusing on the negative! 

Not good at all, don't you agree? 

 So today, I am making a new motto:

Good Morning~ Let the GRACE begin!

I am talking about God's Grace towards us, and by that I mean His unmerited favor.  We aren't perfect and He knows it!  But He loves us in a way that is unfathomable. And we must remember that people and situations and relationships can be way less than perfect.  But, our heavenly Father is perfect and He will never leave us nor forsake us. 

Stand on that today!  And let the Grace begin!

Now, about that contest! 

 Laura over at Laura Williams' Musings has graciously reviewed my e-Book, "Haircuts For Little Men."  If you go by and comment you will be entered in a contest to win a copy!  Also, if you link a post to it, you can get an extra entry and a greater chance of winning. 

 Blessings and good luck to you all, and a hearty THANK YOU to you Laura!  (Laura has a fantastic website, by the way!)
