What is Grace?

I found this bit of philosophy on a bottle of shampoo, bath and shower gel distributed by philosophy®. Great stuff, worth the money. Their website is: www.philosophy.com. Life is a classroom, we are both student and teacher. Each day is a test. And each day we receive a passing or failing grade in one particular subject: grace. Grace is compassion, gratitude, surrender, faith, forgiveness, good manners, reverence, and the list goes on. It's something money can't buy and credentials rarely produce. Being the smartest, the prettiest, the most talented, the richest, or even the poorest, can't help. Being a humble person can and being a helpful person can guide you through your days with grace and gratitude. To me this speaks volumes about how people could better their life by one five-character word, g r a c e. The actions of compassion, gratitude, surrender, faith, forgiveness, and reverence could stop a war instead of starting one, could soften the heart of a parent of a gay child, could stop a family feud before members are no longer around to make amends. The power of one word could change history, if not world history, at least your own. What have you done today to share grace with others?
