What is Grace?
To you? How do you define it in your life?

Or maybe you don't have/embrace it yet, but are striving for it.

Tell me about

Your

Grace.

1.  Too me Its the quiet knowing.
Edited on Mon Feb-14-11 06:24 PM by Howler
Its the ease and love you constantly feel even as people,animals,and situations ebb and flow through your life.
Its the loving connectedness that brings goose pimples with joy and laughter when you listen and feel the universe calling your name.For me its called the Tao.But I recognize it in other teachings and philosophies too.

Its you. its me. its all and Iam.

2. LOL! Its still coming.
Its the ease in which the universe positions you to be in the right place at the right time to be the answer to someones prayer.Too be of service.
Weather its just to offer encouragement or to give them reason to smile.laugh and just feel good to be themselves.
Sometimes its a piece of wisdom you didn't even know you had.I swear I have pulled more of these out of my a....a.then i can count. LOL!

Sometimes it;s a material need that needs filling.
Sometimes it's a more primal need.
Sometimes it's your need that being filled by someone or somthing else that was directed to be there.

LOL! And sometimes getting what you need before you could even begin to envision it. My personal favorite and dread.snort.

4. I like your first line the most.
..to be the answer to someone's prayer.. inspirational reading from somewhere, I forget now where, stated that someone somewhere is waiting just for what you have to offer. I've had that good feeling several times in one vocation and now will try another..

Really, really great thoughts, Howler!:hi:

But it was a very interesting question kimmerspixelated.
I hope other ASAH'ers answer. I would dearly love to hear what they think and feel.

3. My limited experience with grace, much less my limited ability to put something so extra-ordinary
into mere words...

Grace is a state offered and provided by higher beings and states of existence (if you've heard me meandering about the Higher Dimensions). Grace is both beign held apart from our own limitations and being gifted with higher perspective, intuition, insight, energy, support, experience...often to pass through, with ease, an otherwise awful experience, or to bring resolution to something beyond our own ken. It is being taken under the wing, it is to be shown how to fly. It is an amazing gift, inspiring one to wish to be able to offer it to others in similar need.

Some are familiar with the concept of God doing for them what they cannot do for themselves. This is also Grace.

Scratching the surface. Thanks for the question; I greatly anticipate more responses/experiences/better wording.

5. Wow, I don't know..
Pretty hard to top that. The richness of the detail of your answer offers a little Grace in itself. Wow! I'm really being blown away by everyone's take/descriptions.. Thank You, FWWM!

7. I've been pondering this question....
I still don't have a unique answer but I ADORE what you've written. It matches how I interpret grace:

Being gifted with higher perspective, intuition, insight, energy, support, experience...often to pass through, with ease, an otherwise awful experience.


Yes, yes...this is it. Awesomeness. O8)

Thanks for the question, kimmers :hug:

Thanks for the reply, FWWM :hug:
