Gratitude Focus: Grateful For Grace In The Chaos

Reflection/Why I’m Grateful:

I am grateful for my son’s birthday, our anniversary—and an understanding wife.

Today was packed: board meetings, storms in St. Louis, an anniversary dinner, and a concert. Let’s just say not everything went according to plan. At one point, I was huddled in a restroom with 40 other men during a weather delay.

By the time the meeting ended, I had missed dinner—but not the moment. I picked up my wife, and we made it to the concert. She extended grace.

I’m grateful for grace. The kind that doesn’t demand perfection—just presence.

"Love is patient, love is kind… it does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs."
1 Corinthians 13:4–5
