Accepting His Grace

Hey guys, the faithful few who read this at the moment. How is everyone? Forgiven and Free glad to hear it. It's good to hear that God is working in all our lives even if we won't accept it's direction.

Warning: some of you may or may not get what I'm trying to say.

Today I started my day with Community Service at a homeless shelter in Marietta. Yes, I am a very bad driver but i am doing my time for it. Anyway, I spent this morning cleaning and making pack lunches. After that I picked trash up off the side of the road. Least to say that it was not the best morning, especially since the pollen is making me sick. If this blog sounds loopy I'm blaming it on that.
Later on today i got a coffee to clear my head and calm me down. As I handed the cashier my two dollars, she handed one of them back to me. She said "your good honey, " and told me to have a good day. My first action was to hand that dollar straight back to her, and she like wise handed it back. I finally said thank you and got my coffee with a hesitant attitude.

This occurred to me immediately afterward, I had resisted to accept an act of grace towards me. I was caught up in what i was supposed to do in that situation normally, instead of seeing the blessing that was there.

I want all of us to think about this. Where in my life am i refusing the Lord's grace?
