And that's a very good thing. I have too often shamed myself with a display of hot temper toward the man whom I love and who loves me, and I wish that were not so. But my need for forgiveness also helps me to give forgiveness. Forgiveness and grace can follow anger between friends, spouses, family. And that’s a very good thing.

Cherished and true. Yet, someday we are going to find that we don't agree on something, it might be something little or something major - yet no disagreement will ever change the love we have for each other. We just have to remember that in the moment of conflict.

A lesson like this is one of a lifetime and we can then embrace it as a tool we use, too! Grace changes so much. Wow, your colleague not only knew grace does more, she acted on it.
