Many times I make mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes are bad enough that the wronged parties would have cause to demand expensive recompense, or to weaken their ties to me. Wonderfully, my friends and colleagues by and large value their relationship with me enough to overlook my flaws. From my Christian upbringing, I’d call that grace. On Thanksgiving this year, when many of us have needed little more grace from our friends than before, I’m grateful for mine.
