An Ounce of Grace


An Ounce of Grace

There are three things that I’ve never really felt I had enough of:


  1. time,
  2. money, and
  3. love.

And yet when I stop to notice, these three things are not lacking from my life so much as from my perception.


Could it be that I’ve been too ambitious? Thinking about it now, it feels like I’ve had much more value for what could be, than I’ve had for what actually is. It feels like I’ve been ungrateful.


In order to walk this path - in order to more freely give of my time, money and love - I’ve been forced to come to terms with a simple truth: I already have enough.


Indeed, I have enough time, money and love to spare (even in this economy) - not because I’ve gained more, but because my recognition and gratitude for what I already have has increased.


Truly, my life (and yours) is the result of untold grace. I am both wealthy and fortunate. Knowing this, why wouldn’t I practice even just an ounce of grace in my way of life?
