Grace: Give It Away

I chose "Grace" as my word for the year; for the second year in a row.

This week was one long extended lesson into giving others that which I seek, and I learned something really important about my one word.

If I want Grace in my life, I really need to make it a priority to extend it to others.

I have always felt that Grace is an action word.  It started off with something I really didn't want to do.  But, I knew deep in my heart that I needed to do it.  Not because that person deserved it (she didn't), but because I knew it was the right thing to do.  So I did it.  In order to do it, I needed to give her Grace.

I do believe that it was a transforming moment, both for both of us.  There are those who would say that I should have gone the other way, and not helped her at all.  But, I do not regret my choice.  I feel confident in what I chose.  I feel confident in what I did.

I am grateful that I was available to embrace this opportunity.  This moment was extremely beneficial to me.  At the same time, it really helped someone else.  I am encouraged to extend Grace again.
