Well here is another blog from the 'oldest blogger in town'!(though not as old as Ann seems to think!)
I noticed today in our worship that the word 'grace' was in a majority of our songs, mentioned in sermons and in testimonies. It's a word I've been thinking about recently. Denis & I went to see the film 'Amazing Grace' in the Easter hols, lots to think about there....have we got any better?
We are learning the song in Choir at school for the Junior Music Festival, so I've explained to the children why it was written. Then on Thursday one Year 4 child suddenly said '...so what's 'grace' Mrs Fox?' Children are great aren't they ?! They ask the most difficult questions when you have the least time to think of an answer.
This morning Richard was talking about being at home and comfortable in our families. Perhaps we don't...I don't, appreciate how great my family is because they are just always there. Maybe 'grace' is like that ...I don't notice how great it is because it's just always there. God will never take it away from me but I have to make the effort to access it. Looking forward to Roots this weekend!, I need to make an effort to see what God has for me there and in the future.

So, what answer did you give?
One of the kids in FOJ asked about adultery yesterday ( we are looking at the 10 Commandments) so the explaination about being married and the special relationship that happens there and how it has to be protected etc -but better than that - and the child said ,'Oh, so not sleeping around then?' Well, yeah, I guess!?
Hope Roots clarifies grace for you even more Jenny - shame will not be there to discuss it at the time over coffee ! Seriously though, shall be providing time in following Sunday meeting for Roots People to share their expeirence.....so be ready ! Hope your blown away (spiritually of course!)
