Grace, a real time example.


"Seabiscuit" is a great movie displaying how Grace works in everyday situations.

One of my favorite parts is the owner of the horse, jockey and trainer saying, "Its fine Tom, you don't throw away a whole life just because it's a little banged up." That is Grace; accepting that we all are a little banged up in one fashion or another. Grace says, "That's okay, you are still valuable to me."
The movie shows 4 losers - according to human standards that is, a man who lost his son and wife, a trainer thought to be a crackpot, a beat up horse trained to lose races and a jockey making huge mistakes causing both physical and emotional scars. Grace allowed them to pick themselves up and try again. What the world saw next was a team of winners. The whole time, Grace saw winners in need of a second chance.
