Finding Grace at 30,000 Feet

When do “flowers of grace appear” in our lives? We would probably expect to feel God’s love and grace in holy places like temples or Church buildings or during sacred events like hearing the words of inspired Church leaders or in private prayer. But sometimes God’s grace comes in unexpected places—like a cramped flight from Denver to Salt Lake City.

Tell me if you’ve been here before: You are one of the last people to board your Southwest flight and find yourself having to make a split second decision on which middle seat least looks the least unappealing—next to the mom with the crying baby, the…ahem…heavy-set gentleman taking up his seat and part of yours, or the man talking with his mouth open while chowing down on his footlong-sub with extra onions.
