Grace isn’t just some character in a popular TV show I never watched.
Grace is what happens when we get out of the way and surrender to life as it is.
Not in a passive way, but in a way of acceptance. A way of trust.
What’s happening IS what’s happening. It’s as simple as that.
And once we live in acceptance of what IS, the magic begins.
Ever been in a bumper car?
We think we’re driving. But we’re not.
We steer to the right. But get knocked to the left.
We try to go forward. But it’s backwards instead.
Life’s like that.
We plan and plan and plan.
Think we’re in control.
And just when we least expect it, we get knocked up side the head.
The cool thing about Grace is that she’s super strong.
She picks us up.
Gives us a helping hand.
In ways we never imagined.
Everything we’re experiencing is happening for us.
Everything.
It’s guiding us. Steering us. This way or that.
And when we can let go of expectations,
desired outcomes.
Trust in the guidance that’s always there . . .
Well, who knows what will happen?
No one.
But this I do know:
Grace is always present,
always at the ready,
always there for us whether we realize it or not.
