A Little Bit of Grace Goes a Long Way

It is easy to go through life frustrated, letting little grievances build up. It’s much more difficult to acknowledge those who may have upset you and practice forgiveness towards them.

Today, we hope everyone can make an effort to give grace to those around them. Martin Luther King said “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Giving grace to others is the start of creating the light that can drive out darkness.

Here are a few examples of how you can give grace today:

• Forgive the driver that cuts you off in traffic.

• Be patient when your friend is late for lunch.

• Give your sibling grace when they take too long in the bathroom.

• Acknowledge a grudge you have been holding for a while and work towards forgiving that person.
