A New Hero?

I have a new hero (already!?)

It's my daughter. Quickly, my wife and I were going out to dinner with my parents several days ago when my mom became sick. Nothing big, just not feeling well so we took her back to their apt. My daughter's volleyball practice got cancelled so she called and said that she would join us for dinner. I called her back to cancel her out when she said, "why don't I grab something here and then sit with Grandmom while you guys take grandad out for dinner."

Now let's put this in perspective...Sixteen year old girls are only interested in fashion, cell phones and Zac Ephron. Not so here. Instead of having an evening to herself so that she could chill, she wanted to spend it with a senior citizen who was sick.

I gave her several chances to back out, but she wanted to serve.

That is the textbook definition of the grace of God at work in a person. By definition, we are selfish, but she was selfless. That is more encouraging evidence that the grace of God is at work in her.
