Today’s unexpected but welcome moments of grace

  • She waived a fee.
  • He accepted a slightly expired coupon.
  • Someone bent a rule in my favor. (I may or may not have deserved it.)
  • I bent rules for five different people. (They may or may not have deserved it.)
  • That 1/4 inch post that was too big popped off and under it was a 1/8 inch post that fit perfectly.
  • The check they said was in the mail arrived.
  • The new prescription seems to work a bit better than the old one.
  • My wife washed my spare pants for me.
  • I reconnected with a favorite former student.
  • A text from a friend arrived at just the right time.

There’s a lot that’s awful in the world, but I’m taking a few moments to appreciate these unexpected but welcome moments of grace.
