Repaying Grace

When you receive kindness
with a willing heart,
that itself is already
a way of giving back.
Even the simple desire
to express gratitude
can make you a grateful person.

Those who offer grace
hope their gift will be accepted
with a thankful spirit.
When it is received that way,
their purpose is fulfilled.

Sharing a meal works the same.
The one who serves food
feels joy and gratitude
just by seeing guests enjoy it.
For parents, the greatest return
is watching their children
live well and thrive.

Living with gratitude
is the beginning of repaying grace.
