Ten Things of Thankful

September 12 – 17 – , 2021

This is my Fifth TIME to WRITE TTOT –

Five is for GRACE.

Number 5 symbolizes God’s grace, goodness and favor toward His creations.

Number FIVE is mentioned 318 times in the Holy Bible.

Five is the number of grace, and multiplied by itself, which is 25, is ‘grace upon grace’ (John 1:16).

The Ten Commandments contain two sets of 5 commandments.

Let’s GO!

This week my focus is on GRACE.
