Stray/Stay

I meant to type stray but dropped the r and typed stay.

One letter changes stay to stray.

One letter changes hype to hope and live to love.

One letter

Big difference

I meant to write about straying from grace.

Grace from not writing and thinking and giving grace.

Grace for others but mostly grace for myself. Isn’t that that the bigger challenge?

Giving grace to ourselves?

When I slack giving myself grace I get bitter and judgy.

The littlest things prick me like needles.

I’m hyper aware ….

….but not of the good things.

I’ve strayed from remembering the grace of Jesus. The grace that welcomed the skeptical, the wrong-doers, the doubters and believers.

That welcomes me.

Grace makes room.

But can I make room for my lacking?

My wondering?

My ego and pride?

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That saves a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found

Was blind but now a I see
