We All Need a Little Grace in Our Lives

It's hard to say which is cuter, isn't it? Since this is a blog about dogs, we'll stick with that. Meet Gracie (that's the pup on the right! Hi Gracie!). Gracie was here for a little more than a week while her family went on vacation.

Gracie is only about four months old. She had no accidents. Zero. None. Nada.

It's possible she is the world's most perfect puppy. She was basically the model of perfect kennel behavior, including spontaneous rolling over for belly rubs.

Adorable.

It almost makes me want a puppy. (almost)

Chances are very good that while Gracie grows she will make mistakes. She'll inevitably eat something she should not, jump on someone with muddy paws, and even have an accident. Her owners will love her anyway.

Isn't that the way God is with us? Doesn't the Lord look upon us with love, even when we are making huge messes of our lives, bothering others, disrupting the order of everything? Yes. It's His Grace, sure and simple.
