YOU are Grace

Yesterday evening I received some unsettling, unexpected family news. The news, while shattering to some in my family, was not without Grace.

Today I received some expected news, but news I was dreading just the same. This, too, was news that was not without Grace.

Did Mary feel this Grace as she accepted the news of an unexpected child? Did Mary know Grace as she waited for what was to come? I believe she did.

Whatever the news here refers to is unimportant. What is important is that Grace, our Savior, is with each of us in every detail of our lives.

Grace is the gift I will accept. Burden is the gift that I lay at the foot of the cross. I am thankful that I can do both.
