SPACE FOR GRACE
Passed a van parked in front of a handicapped children's center. A sticker on the window had the symbol of a wheel chair on the sliding door and it read, "Please, leave extra room." Knowing that the people on board need extra space enables me to give it to them when I pull along side them.
If, somehow, we could look into each other's heart, and if we then realized that everyone wears a sticker on the inside with a wheelchair and the message, "Please, leave extra room." Wouldn't it be easy to give more space. And wouldn't we all be better neighbors, and employees, and husbands, and friends, and even enemies?
"Come to me," Jesus said, "All of you who have wheelchairs, and hang ups, and handicaps, and issues, and problems, and are outcast for whatever reasons.....I'll give you extra room."
That's grace...and we all need it. Today. Be gracious; leave extra room.

--Gourmet Thoughts for A Gourmet Day ** Fresh Brewed Here Every Monday-- Millions of us begin our day with coffee. For some its a necessity; for others a simple luxury. Which ever your case, I want to share it with you occasionally--not to intrude, but, hopefully to enhance by offering a thought, an idea, an insight, or a story. After all, what better way to begin a gourmet day than with a gourmet thought and hot coffee?
