In the first example that I read “Grace: God is the Clear River” by Taylor Gaston. God is your clear path when confronted with chaos. In having chaos you also have tragedy and within this tragedy you have Gods lighted path. Like the sun shines on the water.He is there to guide you through the darkness that you are experiencing. your paths in your life are the darkness and God is the sun shining on the water walking right alongside the side of you. As the man was fishing in the river his faith didn’t think that the fish were living in the water because he did not have faith that they could live in the dark, murky water. This murky water could be an example and a metaphor in talking about life and how we as humans can survive by having gods light to guide us. We have choices just like Adam and Eve took part in eating the apple off of the Tree of Life the fisherman had a choice to keep fishing. Just like we have in our own life to never lose our faith and give up on Gods light.

One word that describes something that everyone is looking for but not everyone finds is grace. Grace is something that is present in everyday life, but it takes a skilled eye to appreciate it.As with most things, when it comes to grace, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One could see something displaying the quality of grace without ever recognizing it.The word grace is officially defined as simple elegance, but it can mean different things to different people. In my opinion, grace can be defined as displaying qualities of confidence, forgiveness, humility, and nobility.

There are many definitions of the word grace. One definition of the word is Favor or Goodwill. We use grace in our everyday lives. People show grace to other people when their family members or good friends pass away. We show Grace to other people to show that care about them. Not only that,but for respect.

Retrieved from http://www.auburn.edu/~allenkc/fbf/grace.html) says this, “Grace is, therefore, God's unmerited favor - His goodness toward those who have no claim on, nor reason to expect, divine favor.” Defining God’s grace is one thing, but experiencing the effects of God’s grace is on an entirely different level.

The main idea is sort of like them explaining that showing grace is good and it is hard to do but it is part of life.
