Amazing Grace

I have a confession. Today was not our best day. Today we argued, we stole toys, we yelled. This is not something that we are proud of. It was not our finest day. But in the midst of the chaos, in the midst of the tears, there was grace. Grace for the yelling, grace for the mean faces, grace for the anger and the lack of understanding.

We would not survive this life without it. We would never see heaven if we didn't receive it. Families would fall apart if it weren't for grace. I thank God that my family gives each other grace. I am thankful that we forgive one another. Days like today show me what this family is made of. We are made of love, compassion, understanding, and kindness. We falter but we pick each other up. We know how to say "I'm sorry" and "I love you " and "I forgive you". We know tomorrow is another day and we will do better. We know we are stronger because of days like today. Thank you Father for grace. Thank you Father for our 4 amazing graces.
