Good Morning Girls!  When I was a kid we often went to my grandma's house on Sunday afternoon.  She always cooked the same meal: fried chicken, cole slaw, mashed potatoes, garden green beans, homemade pickles, fruit jello, corn caserol, dinner rolls, and orange kool-aid.  She always served the same meal because we all loved this meal.  I mean LOVED this meal.  We all sounded like Bill Murray in "What about Bob?"..... yummmmm.....mmmmmm.......ohhhhh.....yummmmmmm....oh how we loved this meal!

There wasn't much talking during dinner, except for one phrase:  "More Please!"  When it came to grandma's dinner, everyone had second's, even thirds.  Whenever someone said those two little words, "More Please!", my grandma's face would light up.  She loved nothing more than honoring the request of "More Please!"  She delighted in giving us more!  And there was always more.  She never ran out.

Grandma loved to give us more because she loved to see us full and happy!  She loved that we loved her meal sooooo much that we would keep coming back for more.....even past our level of comfort on occassion!  She loved knowing that she had something that made us feel good.  That made us feel loved.  That sent us home counting down the days til we would have "More Please!".  

I hadn't thought about Sunday's at grandma's for a long time.  But something about this verse I read yesterday had me thinking "More Please" all day long.  It says in 1 Peter 1:2 May God give you more and more grace and peace.  You see, it wouldn't say more and more grace and peace  if there was not more and more grace and peace to give!  It wouldn't say more and more if we each only recieved one serving of grace and peace.  If that were the case it would read may God give you your one serving of grace and peace.  

Praise the Lord!  God's grace and peace is not a one time deal.  You can receive second's, third's, fourth's, an infinite number of servings of grace and peace.  There is always more!  You simply need to say those two little words "More Please"!  And just like grandma, God's face lights up at the fact that we know that he has exactly what we need to be full and happy!  He delights in piling it up on our plates!  He loves sending us on our way counting down the days til we can say "More Please!"  the best part is.....we don't have to wait!  We can have "More Please" all day every day!

If your plate is empty, lift it to the Lord and say "More Please"......I believe He will pile it on so big it will spill over!......and there may be enough for you to share with those around you!

1 Peter 1:2  May God give you more and more grace and peace

Love, thanks, and more grace and peace to you all-
