Someone has said this to you. “Grace!” Of course they were referring to your less than graceful movement. Their verbal barb was no extension of grace to you. Just the opposite.
Pointing out each other’s faults is easy enough to do. Those stick out sufficiently for effortless viewing.
Seeing folk’s finer qualities may necessitate a more determined look. Extending grace to the people in your life will often mean over-looking their mistakes and on occasion revealing your own.
I have been reminded recently that our values are seen in what we actually do, not just in the words we mouth. Behavior is measurable content. So, trip all over yourself this week imparting grace to others. Your movement will flatter your Lord.

About Me
- Tim G.
- Born in Topeka, Kansas and having grown up in eastern Kansas (Lawrence, Desoto, Pittsburg, and Topeka), I am originally native to the area. Once living in Kansas, I have lived in each of the following states as well: Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and California. My wife and I have two married daughters, two sons-in-law, and four grandchildren. Gray hair is earned, not given out. (No cats, dogs, parrots, mice, bugs or alligators, but lots of frogs.) One of the best things about being a parent is that you learn a lot about The Father and His love for His children.
