Me: Flowers make the day around us look prettier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prodigal: Yes they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book In the Grip of Grace by Max Lucado<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the grace of God is missed, bitterness is born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But where the grace of God is embraced, forgiveness flourishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longer we walk in the garden,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the more likely we are to smell like flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more we immerse ourselves in grace, the more likely we are to give grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proverbs 20:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
