The Grace Card

We all have a "least of these" and showing them compassion and mercy is a challenge, but a rewarding challenge. But what about grace? What the heck is grace? I was schooled last night. It involves the compassion and mercy. It surpasses a description existing in my vocabulary. Action is grace. I highly recommend "The Grace Card" as a family movie. It is PG-13 for some violence, but it's easily something a child's eyes can be covered for. It definitely opens up conversation. My Special K went and saw it with me, and my "least of these" was also there. I thanked him. He was taken aback as to why I would be grateful to him. I told him, thank you for not giving up. I don't know how I'd react if I lost a friend. The Grace Card that the movie gets it's title from is written in child like cursive. It's old, it's rugged, but it's real. It goes a little something like this: 

I promise to pray for you every day, ask your forgiveness, grant you the same, and be your friend always.

So, how many people in your life need grace? Are you able to show your "least of these" grace? I challenge you to commit this to one person. i ask only one, but if you can manage more, please do. The Grace Card is a powerful commitment, but it's worth it. It truly redefines, "do unto others". There ya go. That's all I've got today :)

Until next time, peace and love

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
