Last week, I blogged a bit about a gentleman we have hired who made a big mistake and has paid considerably for it. Because of the nature of what he did, I was concerned about how other employees might address him working here.
Today, I am happy to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by the hearts of some people who work here. I would guess there are some negative comments or feelings but I’ve asked and no one has heard anything. I suppose the majority have said nothing but the few who have spoken up to me have made a lasting impression. They have had comments of thanksgiving that he would get a second chance here, questions of what they could do to help him.
The responses were opposite of what I was afraid I would hear. I thank God for the people who have spoken up and the knowledge that God is with people through the storms.

We tend to think that people will be less gracious than they are. I think it is because of the few who do not understand grace. Most of us realize that if we were in a similar situation, we would want to be given a chance. I am thankful for the response you have received.
People can surprise you – I know that it is not easy to embrace someone that has done something wrong. I am grateful for people like you and David that will give him a chance for a new start in life.
