The Gift of Grace

Are you finished with Christmas shopping yet? Are you baking? Are you making those handmade gifts?

There’s a gift that can’t be put under a tree. It’s a gift of grace, and it seems like the holidays are where we need it most

Today my friend (and radio personality) Luann Prater, and I share about how grace plays out in our relationship on Karen Ehman’s blog.

It’s Karen’s 12 Days of Christmas giveaways (who doesn’t love giveaways!!) and I hope you’ll check it out. And I hope you’ll win the giveaway!

Luann and I discuss three things that helps us give the gift of grace to others, and what that looks like in real life.
