"... God's grace is not only sufficient - it is inexhaustible. Remember the story Roy Gustafson told of the little fish who said, "I am so thirsty but I must not drink too much . The ocean might run dry." Or the little mouse in the granaries of Egypt who said, "I am so hungry. But I must not eat too much. The grain might not last." Or the little swallow, soaring and dipping through the sky, thinking, "I must not breathe too deeply; I might use up all the air."Whatever the need, whatever the situation, "he giveth more grace"
(James 4:6). ..."

(Was the musk mallow in the picture growing at your place in the summer? It is one of my favourite flowers, specifically the white one with the pink centre, as in your picture. I was playing around with using one of my mallow pics as a header just a few hours ago, in fact.)
