Purpose and Grace

Grace was talking about something funny and weird she'd done at dinner. Jim, joking and exaggerating, said, "Grace, you were born for trouble."

Grace's face got straight and she said, "Dad, I was born to sort, and make art."

Jim and I were surprised and amused at her quick comeback and show of clear sense of purpose, and we gave a little laugh and affirmation.

Patie said, "Well, that's what she likes to do the most!"

Indeed.
