Grace

Grace is one of those things that I keep coming back to, am very thankful for and yet don't get it at all at times. 


A couple of days ago I read a blog post. it's one of those blogs all about giving people second chances and such. Really cool blog usually. 


But this time I noticed something. The story was about a hurtful comment that was made about a member of the family in a public restaurant.  


Except.....


It said something along the lines of 'What the heck? This lady whose kids were not even interacting with her and her husband was thinking she could make a comment about my family???'


I understand that the comment was mean. I also understand that you're defending your family and all. But to post something like that on a blog that is all about grace and giving people a break, I was taken a back. What about that lady? What about her family? What about giving her a second chance?


The saying 'hurt people hurt people' came true in this situation. Your family has been hurt and there you go lashing out at others. 


Been there, done that, got the t shirt. NOT proud of it.
