Grace

 

Do you give yourself grace? We often talk about kindness, grace, and forgiveness towards others. There have been several MMMs on those subjects. But, what about us? Do we give ourselves enough grace?

·        Grace for being forgetful as we age

·        Grace for not completing a workout as planned

·        Grace for tiring out on certain tasks

·        Grace for running late to an appointment

·        Grace for making a mistake at work

·        Grace for overreacting with a child or spouse

I am not suggesting we get to always make excuses. I am just suggesting we not be so hard on ourselves. We all have been taught to always be kind and forgiving to others, to ourselves, not so much. Perhaps, earlier generations did not realize the importance of that. We will give them grace for that.

Give yourself some grace today, tomorrow and everyday…
