Let's Give MORE Grace

In the beginning of the year I started a series on Monday called MORE Mondays that offered simple and small steps to improve our lives and get more out of life this year.

And then summer happened and book writing happened and I put the MORE Monday posts on hold until September. But, then a big computer slow down occurred and for about 5 weeks every post took me three to four times longer than normal and I just couldn't create printables. But, all of that is done and cleared up and so my MORE Monday posts are back for the rest of 2017.

This week I have been thinking a lot about grace and how very much I need it. And if I need it, that means I need to give it. Sometimes when I am sitting on my high horse and in my "rightness", i.e. I am right and the other person is wrong, grace is the last thing I want to give. Instead, I want to give people my opinions and my reasons why I am in the right.


But...am I right, is my anger justified. Or, do I need to look at where I have been wrong and at where I have been hurtful and at all of the hurt someone else may be feeling. It is hard to see those things seated on the high horse. Yet, I know I want others to see those things in me.

I am reminded and convicted that to receive grace, I must give it. And, I KNOW giving grace feels so much better than giving someone a piece of my mind.
