Looking back on my childhood in Bermuda, I have some lovely memories of playing the organ in church. We lived next door to the church building. One day, the church doors were all locked, so I climbed in the window and made my way up to the pipe organ to play it. I don't think that I was even ten at the time, but I knew how to turn on the organ and how to play it. Playing the organ in church still remains a God-blessed event for me, even as I age and arthritis makes it difficult. It is all in God's timing.

The Lord continues to amaze me with His timing. A few weeks ago, I turned on the organ here where I now worship, as I needed to practice, and it didn't make a sound! I shouldn't have worried, as God is still involved with everything, even with our organ. I was supposed to play it that Sunday, but the organ just quit — no more sound. That very morning, I was leading a Bible discussion group, when a miracle happened. The former choir leader was also in the group, and when she heard about the organ quitting, she donated her organ, which was a similar make, to the church.

As I played her organ in church the next Sunday, I worshipped in total thanksgiving. God's timing always looks amazing to us.

As we pray and commit our days to God, His grace is amazing and absolutely wonderful as it unfolds all around us. It makes me feel very humble, kneeling in awe.

Romans 8:28 – And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (ESV)

Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your gifts that surround us with Your grace. We are so grateful! In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
