Five Minute Fridays.

So, I saw this on a blog somewhere... and thought oh, what a neat idea. Hundreds of bloggers, most writing from a faith perspective, writing about the same word on Fridays... and for only 5 minutes. No overthinking it, no pressure to get it just right, just sharing what comes to mind. Here's the link if you are interested in learning more...Five Minute Friday

 
OK, here goes my first FMF...five minute friday.

Word: Grace

Start.





We have all received it... grace. In some magnitude or another... big or small... or largest of all.. the forgiveness of our sins and the gift of eternal life.

So, why is it so hard to extend grace to others? Why is it difficult to recognize that others are imperfect, will fall, will make mistakes, will disappoint us. Give grace freely to the ones in your life.

Give grace freely to yourself.  Most likely the hardest of all.

Stop.

Not super profound for 5 minutes. I'm a little disappointed in myself.... yes, I need to give myself some grace and think about the awesomeness to meditate on one word for 5 minutes of quiet before this busy day starts.

Happy Friday Friends!
