We’ve received so much, we should be able to give grace out of the vast store God has given to us.

And if you don’t say or do something — :leaving the new bin bag in a prominent position: — it’s worse — seething, fermenting resentment. Stand stories like this against those of Bonhoeffer or Kolbe … so far am I from modelling Christ.

Ironically, I’m sure many of us would act like Kolbe did. Somehow it’s easier to lay down one’s life for a neighbour than to do the dishes when it is not one’s turn.

My husband called me out on it the other day. He said I have more grace for others than I do for him. In the moment I denied it, but the truth burrowed into my heart. Where is the grace indeed? Great reminder today Lisa!

How I would have liked to think that this was silly but alas, it’s those stupid little things that often trip us up. Thank you for the reminder to offer grace in huge doses today!
