I received an email from someone who read my post on Grace. There is one line from the email that keeps going through my mind:

"Grace is God’s presence (wisdom, truth and love) poured over you in this time and place."

What a lovely way to think about how one can be at peace with the imperfections in life.

Sometimes when I’m coaching, I will ask a client how a situation that is clearly irritating, frustrating, and upsetting is perfect instead of imperfect. This always seems to startle the individual–that something that seems so imperfect can be perfect. And when the client is able to see perfection in imperfection there is a release of tension, a sigh of relief, a relaxation of the body. They have found peace.
