God's Grace is Amazing

My pastor used the song Amazing Grace in his sermon yesterday. He was talking about a funeral for an infant. The parents, the pastor and just a few people were at the grave. The mother requested pastor sing Amazing Grace. He never sung at a grave side without instuments, etc, before.

But he asked another lady to sing it with him and he said the spirit filled the air around them and it was so powerful, moving, beautiful. Made everyone feel much better, realizing God had everything under control. He had the baby in His arms now, and they could just lean on Him for comfort and peace.

Do you have a bible you enjoy reading? I have a mother's bible and used to have a women's bible, but gave it away. I find them much more enjoyable and easy to read that the earlier versions. I guess they're called NIV, but these also include little notes written by women that relate what you are reading in the bible, to everyday things. The print is larger and the pages are laid out in a visually appealing way, with boarders, etc.:)

I have never read the entire bible, but plan to have that accomplished over the next year. I always feel so good after reading it and don't want to stop once I get started. I should start getting up a little earlier in the mornings to read it, while the house is quiet and I am more awake.:)

Like exercise, once the day starts, I often don't get around to doing the things I want to do. Getting better at saying No to laundry, etc, and not trying to get "finished" cause that will never happen. lol
