Grace

Some people have it and some don’t. Having it can make a person careless, egotistical, lacking empathy; not having it can make a person bitter, demanding, dishonest. Maybe nobody’s entitled to it but everyone deserves it. Some people think we get it by prayer or meditation. Some people think it’s random. Some people think the only ones who get it are those who agree with their beliefs. Some people think anyone may be graced simply by accepting it. There may be many ways for us to invite it. It’s hard to understand it but easy to carry it on our shoulders.
