Grace modeste- an "unassuming grace." Any discussion of a spiritual nature should reflect this mutual kindness. The following are simply my devotional reflections each morning. I cast them like "bread upon the waters," hoping that all who find them will find something of value to nurture their own inner life.

“But until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise.” Stephen Covey
“Today if you hear His voice do not harden your heart.” Heb.3
Let me certainly take responsibility for the choices I have made but especially for the choices I will make. This means thinking things through before you choose. Visualize the power of a single choice and not just its immediate consequences but also how it will incline future decisions. If I say no to some prompting of God’s Spirit in me it will certainly have consequences--probably not the least of which will be how much easier it will be to refuse Him next time He moves me.
