Grace running toward you before you speak
The house is quieting now, and the day's work feels like a ledger of your mistakes. You look at your children and see only where you fell short, where you snapped or where you disappeared.
But the light that lives in you has never failed them, even when you did. The father in the story did not wait for the apology; he ran while the shame was still heavy on the son's shoulders.
You are not defined by the failure of the evening, but by the love that is already running toward you. The day ends not with your judgment, but with grace running over.
