10 Asma 163 B.E. – August 29, 2006 A.D.
Today is Fidal, the day of Grace. Grace is another attribute of God, which humans reflect either to a greater or to a lesser degree. When I meditate on grace, all sorts of connections come to mind. The most important thing that comes to mind is forgiveness. Forgiveness is bond to grace in a spiritual sense. I cannot think of one without contemplating the other.
An old nursery rhyme that says, “Tuesday's child is full of grace,” when this line is read the first images that come to mind are of physical attributes such as elegance, loveliness, refinement, polish, style, poise and charm. There are other attributes implied by grace as well. However, the other attributes or abilities are more spiritual than physical. These are kindness, kindliness, decency, favor, mercy, mercifulness, charity, benevolence, clemency, and leniency. Other concepts that come to mind are blessing, prayer, thanks, thanksgiving, adorn, embellish, enhance, beautify, decorate, ornament, dignify, honor, favor, and distinguish.
Grace is an intriguing attribute, with lots of connotations. Grace is a spiritual attribute possessed by human being. We just have to look for it, not only in other people, but also in ourselves.
