The Echo of Grace #1716

The Echo of Grace God forgives us, and so we forgive, A cycle of grace in the lives that we live. His mercy flows so we can extend, A hand of compassion to foe and friend. God helps us, and thus we help too, In every small act, His kindness renews. Blessings received are blessings to share, A gift of His love in actions of care. Never cease in sharing, in caring, in aid, For life is more joyful where kindness is laid. Small deeds of goodness, simple and pure, Outshine grand plans that are vague and unsure. God of all comfort, in our afflictions stays, So we can console others in similar ways. With the same solace we’ve received from above, We comfort the hurting with His boundless love. God helps those who help others, it’s true, In every kind act, His spirit breaks through. A life filled with meaning, with purpose, with cheer, Is found in the service of those we hold dear. -Steven G. Lee (June 9, 2024)
