How can we understand God’s grace? That vast and unbelievable gift He extends to all of us who believe in Him?
You know what I love most about (in)courage? It’s this: that Colossians 1:6 can be said about this community:
“This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.”
The women who gather here and who write here daily express their joy and gratefulness for God’s wonderful grace. They know it, believe it, and humbly pass their understanding on to others. They show what it looks like to be vulnerable, to hurt, to live authentic lives for Jesus. And they show us what it means to get back up again, to say Grace through life’s triumphs and its struggles, to extend grace to others, and to accept it for ourselves.
It’s not a perfect place, but it’s one where the truth about God’s wonderful grace can be found.
Thank you for gathering here. Thank you for being an encouragement to little ol’ me. As you gather around your table in your home, may the pieces from the Daily Grace collection remind you of this community, but more importantly, of the truth about God’s wonderful grace.
“Oh, how grateful and thankful I am to the Lord because He is so good.” – Psalm 7:17
{Daily Grace dinner plate, salad plate, dessert plate, teacup, bowl, sugar/candy bowl, teapot and platter}
Of course, an (in)courage product launch wouldn’t be complete without a giveaway!! One of my favorite items in this collection (because how can you have just one?!) is the set of four place cards.

Love this collection! I actually am tearing up by this post- and your reassurance that we are all welcome here in grace. Sometimes I struggle with feeling “not good enough” or like I am not wanted/don’t belong…then I looked at that beautiful photo of hands ’round the table and there was a place setting with my name on it “Katie”…obviously it was for someone else who was there, but God used this to show me His love and that I am welcome ’round the table of this community; thank you.;)
Katie Matzenbacher says

Kristy Lynn says
I love this collection!! Right now I am unemployed (was let go at the end of February) and I am learning to be thankful for this time with my two teenage girls, as I am a single mom. I don’t want to just rush out into anything and function unhappily and stressed so I am trying to focus on my home and wait on what the Lord has for me next. Making dinners with my girls is a part of this new slower time and I love having Dayspring products to help me remember to be thankful in all things! Blessings to all of you 🙂
monica says

This blog post was so perfect for me! This is exactly my goal for this year. To open up my heart and home to others, which can be hard to do as an introvert sometimes. So far we are starting up a woman’s group at church and tomorrow night I am having some women from work over to our house for dinner. I pray that the Lord will continue to provide opportunities like this throughout the year. 🙂
