I love many things about public libraries, but one of the best things is the grace period given after a due date. Grace is sometimes defined as an undeserved favor, giving someone the benefit of the doubt whether they deserve it or not. What if we lived as if everyone deserved grace, even those we don’t want to forgive? Even ourselves?
