What comes to your mind when you think of grace? Does it remind you of God’s mercy for a repentant sinner, or an image of a serene and peaceful landscape? Perhaps it reminds you of a breath of fresh air in an otherwise ugly situation. Maybe it describes a ballet dancer or an ice skater spinning in perfect symmetry or the effortless movements of a gymnast. Regardless of how you visualize grace, it always brings a sense of peace, order, and tranquility to something. It seems to bring a sense of welcome unreality to unwelcome reality. How about the fern as it unfolds and stretches in perfect symmetry to welcome the warmth of a new season. Dormant during the harsh and cold winter months, it’s one of the first plants to come to life in the warm spring. The perfection of its symmetry is almost unreal in the midst of an imperfect real world. Grace.
