If you know movies you know where that line comes from. Right now I feel as though my grace had died 20 years ago. I am trying so hard to be understanding, flexible and forgiving but it is a real challenge.
I couldn't tell you when it started or how, but several years ago, I noticed that the loving, caring, ever forgiving Meghan was slowly disappearing. Maybe it was the circumstances of the time, the over-exhausted helping hand that had been bitten too many times or some other trigger; but I have noticed a change in my attitude towards others.
I don't want to be cynical, judgemental or seem uncaring because I do care about people a lot. I care about people I shouldn't have to care about but that is me. So after reading a friends blog, and asking myself over and over again why I seem to pick people apart, I have decided to start seeing the good and helping to lift others and myself.
In all the hardships we all face, we must have faith and with faith should come grace. We should look at peoples' hard work, effort and good intentions instead of seeing their faults. Because God knows...we all have them. :-)
So here's to Grace and the hopes that she's not really dead!
