    Gratitude. We are God’s Masterpiece created fo Gratitude. 

We are God’s Masterpiece created for GOOD WORKS in Christ that we walk in them. 

I have the oil to progress.  Too much grace to lose.  God is great to me and in me.  His Creative Power enables me, daily.  Daily, I am becoming what He envisioned me to be- a one of a kind purposeful creation.  I thank God for every opportunity He brings me to and through.  May His light always shine around, in and through me.  The darkness cannot *ever* overcome it. 

*******************************
There is lots of foolishness in life.  Lots of it.  But thank God the story never ends at that point.  Life winds, a masterpiece weaving good and bad, highs and lows, making something durable, complex and undeniably stunning.
