In Your FACE

On a recent car trip with a friend, I said these words, "I hate the way people today are so flakey, I never cancel my committments. People are getting so slack." Should have known a lesson was in my near future... funny how He knows when we are getting too haughty. Hello, my name is Karen and I tend to be a little judgemental. I was becoming tired of the way people are constantly canceling plans, rescheduling, late for things, etc. Then He showed me exactly what it was like to be in a position of relying on someone else's grace. He showed me what it was to make the phone call saying, "I'm not going to make it, something has come up." Part of my control-freakness usually doesn't let that happen. What I was shown was the grace of others, the well wishes and kind words. In striving to grow, it hurts sometimes to learn the lessons, to show grace and compassion for others. I am harsh and expect so much of others and am so blessed that neither He nor anyone else holds me to that standard. Grace rocks.
