Redux<\/em><\/span> means to revisit, bring back, re-release. \u00a0This last week of 2014, we\u2014the bloggers here at Girlfriends Coffee Hour\u2014are each \u2018revisiting\u2019 a blog we wrote earlier this year.<\/p>\n

We would love to share with you just a bit about how very good God has been to us! \u00a0He has given us all so much grace and mercy, blessings and provision, protection and guidance! \u00a0He has led us and taught us through His Holy Spirit so many incredible things! \u00a0He has molded, and chastised, and encouraged us to be daughters with humble hearts who are dependent upon Him. \u00a0And He has helped us to be strong, committed, and faithful women \u00a0who love Him and desire to bring Him much honor and glory and majesty.<\/p>\n

We pray that our words would encourage you also\u2026and draw You deeper into relationship with the One Who loves you so! \u00a0Here are my dear friend Cynda’s words.<\/p>\n

This is one of the first songblogs I ever wrote. \u00a0I re-read it again today because this song has been very much on my mind. \u00a0I am still amazed at the words God gave me to write; they still hold true for me today. \u00a0His great grace<\/strong><\/em><\/span> surrounds me.<\/p>\n

In the last 12-18 months I have experienced mountaintops and valleys. \u00a0We celebrated our youngest daughter\u2019s wedding along with their first anniversary. \u00a0We celebrated the birth of our first granddaughter. However that celebration was bittersweet, knowing we would lose her in a matter of days. \u00a0We experienced the weeping and sorrow that comes with the death of a loved one\u2014especially when that death comes way too soon. \u00a0Psalm 30:5b (NLT) reminds me that<\/p>\n

Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.<\/p>\n

As you read my previous blog (posted below), consider these Scriptures:<\/p>\n

\n

Great grace (loving-kindness and favor and goodwill) rested richly upon them all.
\nActs 4:33b AMP<\/p>\n

But even greater is God\u2019s wonderful grace.
\nRomans 5:15 & 17 NLT<\/p>\n

All of this is for your benefit. And as God\u2019s grace reaches more and more people,
\nthere will be great thanksgiving.
\n2 Corinthians 4:15a NLT<\/p>\n

But He gives greater grace
\nJames 4:6a HCSB<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

God\u2019s great<\/strong> grace. His amazing<\/strong> grace rests richly upon each of us.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 * \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u271e \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 * <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s there in the newborn cry<\/span>
\n There in the light of every sunrise<\/span>
\n There in the shadows of this life<\/span>
\n Your great grace<\/span>
\n It\u2019s there on the mountaintop<\/span>
\n There in the everyday and the mundane<\/span>
\n There in the sorrow and the dancing<\/span>
\n Your great grace<\/span>
\n Oh such grace<\/span><\/p>\n

From the creation to the Cross<\/em><\/span>
\n There from the Cross into eternity<\/em><\/span>
\n Your grace finds me; yes, Your grace finds me<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s there on a wedding day<\/span>
\n There in the weeping by the grave side<\/span>
\n There in the very breath we breathe<\/span>
\n Your great grace<\/span>
\n The same for the rich and poor<\/span>
\n The same for the saint and for the sinner<\/span>
\n Enough for this whole wide world<\/span>
\n Your great grace<\/span>
\n Oh such grace<\/span><\/p>\n

There in the darkest night of the soul<\/span>
\n There in the sweetest songs of victory<\/span>
\n Your grace finds me<\/span>
\n Yes Your grace finds me<\/span>
\n Your great grace<\/span>
\n Oh such grace<\/span>
\n Your great grace<\/span>
\n Oh such grace<\/span><\/p>\n

So I\u2019m breathing in Your grace<\/span>
\n And breathing out Your praise<\/span>
\n I\u2019m breathing in Your grace<\/span>
\n Forever I\u2019ll be<\/span>
\n Your grace finds me<\/span>
\n Yes, Your grace finds me<\/span><\/p>\n
