Help in Our Time and Manet's Genre Paintings of Everyday Light

Daily life in this day and age can be trying and exhausting. Who couldn't use more love, encouragement, and grace in their life? Find yourself in the feelings of these stories, get lost in them, and take away something that you can use. Joy and grace are accessible right now to you, more than you've really thought. For we helpfully know in our spirit that, "All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable" and that "all things are lawful, but not all things edify" This is our given grace, to be freed to help again and gratefully get us through each day. Be motivated, be encouraged, be you. Use this book as a devotional, and be inspired to live each day with a joyful spirit and clear conscience. You may even find yourself . . . -helping with love -honoring family life -and feeling God's grace again We live, we laugh, we help, we believe.
