through you

Tuesday November 29th,, 1 Corinthians 1: 4 I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your knowledge— 6 because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. When we shine, it is the light of Christ shining in and through us. I thank God for all the saints that surround my life. I thank God for the simple and graceful ways God shines through you. I thank God for the grace God has given you. I thank God for the times when that grace shines through you to others as well as to myself. There are times when the community seems to sparkle because of this gift of grace. As the first candle in the advent wreath signifies “Hope”, may the grace of God bring hope to the world around you, and through you, today. Amen!
