Top Ten Ways to Extend God’s Grace to Others

10. Look for and point out the good
that we see in others and the world around us.

9.  Interpret people’s actions in the kindest way
(even when we receive criticism or anger);
respond with love and concern for the other and their feelings.

8. Look out for the comfort of others.
Is there something that can be done for the well-being of another?

7. Say nothing if we can’t think of anything to say that is appropriate.
Sometimes silence, a quiet gesture of concern and genuine love
can say more than any words.

6. Never seek to embarrass another.
Humiliating another is not in our vocabulary.

5. Be slow to take credit; it’s not all about us.

4. Appreciate and thank others for even the little things they do for us.
Do you remember to thank others?
Do you go through an entire day without thanking another?

3. Pay attention and listen carefully to what others are saying.
Each one has so much to offer;
each one, like us, is a special child of God and has a story.

2. Notice the people around us;
is someone being left out? Can we find ways to include them?

And the Number 1 way to Extend God’s grace to others
(because all the others rest on this one):
1. Daily seek to recognize and thank God for the grace that we have received.
