Reflections on how God's grace gives us the strength to live and love again after the loss. I am a mother of two deceased children, so I know something about loss. Whatever you have lost, God's grace is sufficient to get you through!

I encourage you to get help. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 KJV (Not sure why I was struggling with this sripture during my recording, but God’s Word is TRUE!) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/grace-now-with-kim-paris-upshaw/message
