Grace, An Analogy

Grace is one of those hard to define concepts. We feel like we might know what it is but when pressed to explain it, it’s difficult to put words to it. We say grace before meals, we sing of Amazing Grace. We can show grace to one another. We know people who have a sort of natural personal grace—they seem to know how to navigate life smoothly and make everyone else feel good along the way. We know grace periods—you know, when you get stuck in traffic with the rental car and you show up 54 minutes after the time when the car was supposed to be returned, and are so relieved to hear the agent say, “It’s okay, we have a one-hour grace period.” (Not that I have any experience with that :))
