Occasions of Grace
Y’know my favorite part of being a family man lately? The absolute ease with which I encounter Grace in my life. Not that I have any more occasions for Grace than anybody else. Nor do I mean to say I am any better at recognizing occasions of Grace than anybody else. But as a husband, father of three, homeowner, dog owner, and auxilliary caregiver to a couple of family elders, I don’t *have* to be better at seeking them out — they come right to me. All I have to do is accept them as such. Grace and Service are built into the everyday necessity of my daily life.
I have to supply gratitude and the elbow grease to harvest this bounty as such. So that is what I pray for today.
And all these occasions of Grace crying out to be harvested make it tough for a guy to update his blog regularly. I’m just sayin’.
