Grace is very important for being a Christian. Alot of times we make mistakes but we also need to forgive others. We make mistakes and must be forgived and also forgive our selves. When other people make mistakes we must have grace on them and also forgive. Let's talk about us making mistakes; first of all, we all make mistakes and that is ok but we must learn from them and try to not make the again. Second, we must learn to forgive ourselves, we as humans are not perfect and will always fall. And third, God is always there to help us. He will is like a girls mother, we can tell him anything and He will understand and be there for us. Giving grace as a Christian is also very important. Grace shows the love of the Lord. It shows what Christians should act like and that we give grace just as Christ does. Lastly, we need to forgive others, if we can forgive ourselves then we can forgive others. I know this is a short blog but you can really take alot from this. showing grace and forgiveness is just the smallest part of being a Christian but I know we can do it!

For the 4th of July, you and your family probably invite all your friends over for a big BBQ. You have to clean the house and pick up the back yard so everything looks good. It's kind of like Jesus preparing a place for us in Heaven. He has to fix our bedroom up and clean the backyard and etc...Not only do you have to clean up your house for 4th of July but, you have to clean up yourself. It's polite to look your best and feel your best when people are around. Same thing applys for the day when we enter our new house. When Jesus judges us, we need to have a clean check on ourselves. We need to be truthful and honest. God and His "crew" are working really hard to prepare this special place for God's people. We need to be ready whenever. Us Christians, need to have our bag packed and waiting at the front door because these days, you never know who will show up. Always be prepared, even for the Devil to come knocking at your door. Be ready for temptations and sin to appear before you and for you to fall. Just put your faith in the Lord and slam that door real hard!
John 14:1-3
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
