WORDS OF WONDER

* "Grace is the delivery of a jewel that nobody ordered, a burst of light
   in a room where everyone forgot it was dark" - David Jeremiah.

* God does well in sending the grace of comfort, but human beings do ill
   in not returning all to God with thanks.

* Grace is always given to the person who is grateful.
