WheRe Is GrAcE?

Grace is by definition; a disposition to kindness and compassion; benign good will, the elegance and beauty of a movement or expression. Grace extends tolerance and mercy.

I was going to gripe about how sometimes in life, if felt like I have been on the “short end” of the grace stick. I was going to gripe about how sometimes, it seems on the day that I needed grace the most, and grace fell short on me. I was going to gripe about how sometimes people just don't seem to extend grace anymore.

Grace is contagious, and so is lack of grace. When I didn’t receive the grace I so desperately needed I found that soon after I was not even willing to extend any kind of grace. I was resentful and not very 'beautiful' in my movement or expression. I thought “Why should I give grace?" I was going to gripe about how I felt like I was being taken for granted.

Often times people get so focused on a pain or hurt that they feel someone has caused them. This leaves them with no allowance for grace, only room for bitterness. This is most likely a problem of some self absorbed thinking mannerism. Love is not resentful, nor is it self centered.

There is no one who always does what is right, not even one. Forgiveness is a two way street, you cannot receive what you are not willing to give to others.

In giving there is receiving, so if you want grace, extend grace, if you want compassion, be compassionate. You never know when you might need the grace of someone else's loving behaviour, so extend some saving grace when you have the opportunities to do so.

We all have our moments and life is too short, let’s show each other some GRACE!
