I keep reading the words of John 1:16 written on the memo board in my kitchen and He in turn asks me:
What is better than grace upon grace?
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. – John 1:14, ESV
Jesus is full of grace and truth. And it is from His fulness, not my need, I receive grace upon grace.
- it is gift after gift (The Message)
- beyond our imagination (The Voice)
- grace in place of grace (ESV, Notes)
When grace overflows, there is more to come.
And it just keeps coming.

What a cool blog you have 🙂
I LOVE your gratitude, especially numbers, 44, 46 and 56. All very near to my heart as well.
Thanks for sharing.
Stacey,
Nice to meet you. I’m hopping over from Ann’s link up, and I enjoy peeking into your gift list here today. Your books on the side grab my attention too, and your hints at writing on the side. I am a writer myself and love hearing of others’ journeys.
Have a lovely week,
Jennifer Dougan

Love your grace list and the verse you posted from John. I just recently memorized that one.
