Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. Proverbs 22:28
Among the property owned jointly by two young brothers who were carpenters was the old tumbledown place of their birth. One of the brothers was soon to be married and the old house was to be torn down and a new one erected on its site. For years neither of the brothers had visited the cottage, as it had been leased. as they entered now and started the work demolishing the place , again and again floods of tender memories swept over them. But the time they reached the kitchen they were well-nigh overcome with emotions.
There was the place where the old kitchen table had stood—with the family Bible—where they had knelt every evening. They were recalling now with a pang how in later years they had felt a little superior to that time honored custom carefully observed by their father. Said one: “We’re better off than he was, but we’re not better men.” The other agreed, saying, “I’m going bask to the old church and the old ways, and in my new home I’m going to make room for worship as Dad did.”
The strength of a nation lies in the homes of its people. ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Says Dr. J. G. Paton: “No hurry for market, no rush for business, no arrival of friends or guests, no trouble or sorrow, no joy or excitement, ever prevented us from kneeling around the family altar while our high priest offered himself and his children to God.” And on his father’s life in his home was based Dr. Paton’s decision to follow the Lord wholly, “He walked with God—why not I?” Springs in the Valley, CowmanThus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways,
and see, and ask for the old paths,
where is the good way, and walk therein,
and ye shall find rest for your souls.
Jeremiah 6:16 Let us ‘walk in grace’ together.
May we find ‘joy in the journey and good times in the going.’

“Walking in Grace’s” main purpose is to encourage the hearts of men and women as they walk in God’s Truth by His Grace, His unmerited, undeserved favor.
“Walking in Grace” is a collection of thoughts and scriptures.
The scriptures come from the Bible. KJV
Trust in the words of the Bible is absolute.
John 6:68-69 Then Simon Peter answered him,Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. KJV
To receive a more complete understanding of God’s Word,at times another version maybe quoted, that version will be named.
John 6:68-69 Simon Peter answered,Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words (the message) of eternal life. And we have learned to believe and trust, and [more] we have come to know [surely] that You are the Holy One of God,the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of the living God. The Amplified Bible
The thoughts come from a wide variety of sources, authors will be recognized whenever possible.
The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine,and a book of morals,and a book of religion, of especial revelation from God;but it is also a book which teaches man his own individual responsibility,his dignity, and his equality with his fellow-man.
* Daniel Webster, in an address on the completion of the Bunker Hill Monument,
