This has been a very full week. A sad goodbye at the beginning. New opportunities in the middle. Exercising of the mind and body and emotions due to various happenings, tasks, and interactions. Endings. Beginnings. Middles. The journey of life is a walk with God through ups and downs, life and death, pleasure and pain, love and struggle. Release. Stretching. Relief.

To make it through all these cycles, we need grace. New mercies every morning. Not an upfront, preloaded "grace card" that we draw from as we need it. No, God chooses to give grace sufficient for the day. Each day has its own trouble. We don't need to borrow from the past or tap into the future. We just need to trust Him to give us what we need for today. That's hard sometimes. But that's often how He does it.

Great is thy faithfulness.
Morning by morning--new mercies...
