Recently, I was given a small booklet by a friend of mine called, Grace in your Pocket, published by The Methodist Church. It contains a number of quotes about grace - mainly from eminent Methodists from the past and present.

Here is one from a present-day Methodist:




A heron swooping low over the water,
A pas de deux exquisitely performed,
The high jump executed to perfection -

What grace, we say.

It fills us with wonder.
We marvel at the gift
of beauty in motion.

And your grace, O God -
love freely given.

It fills us with wonder.
We marvel at the gift
of beauty in action.


David Walton,
Vice President of the Methodist Conference 2008/2009
