Bob来自芝加哥，到了西雅图后，竟变成无家可归的游民。因为缺衣少食，他就什么工作都愿意接受。Bob遇到一位理发师，他给Bob提供了一次免费的理发和剃须服务。Bob看到镜子中自己的样子后，几乎难以置信。除了偶然瞥见自己的面貌外，这是好几个月来Bob第一次注视着自己的面孔，他觉得自己英俊、体面，看来绝不像一个“游民”。他的自我价值大大提升了。

Bob开始更好地照顾自己，他后来还成为了一位拥有认证的美发师。他便搬回芝加哥，与家人团聚。Bob现在每个月两次专门在RCM安排一张理发椅，为社区内的男士提供免费理发和剃须服务，他们中不少都是游民。这些男士们在离开RCM时都比来之前更加气宇轩昂。

收到一份能令你获得最佳状态的礼物，是很令人鼓舞的。恩典会点燃感恩的心。Bob拥有的是一个感恩的生命，用别人曾经服侍他的方式去服侍他人。

当你回顾一生时，想想你曾如何透过别人的恩惠感受到神的恩典。你又能怎样与人分享神的这份恩典呢？

Bob was from Chicago, and he ended up homeless in Seattle. With few resources, he did what he could for work. Bob met a barber who offered him a free haircut and a shave. Bob accepted, and when the barber was finished, Bob looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't believe what he saw. It was the first time in months that he had looked at his face with more than just a passing glance. He looked handsome and dignified. He didn't feel like a "bum." His feeling of self-worth was overwhelming.

Bob began to take more steps to take care of himself. He eventually became a licensed barber. He moved back to Chicago and reconnected with family members. He now sets up a barber chair twice a month at Roseland Christian Ministries and offers free haircuts and shaves to men in the community, many of whom are homeless. Most of the men walk a foot taller as they leave, heads held high.

Something about being given the gift to be your best self is inspiring. Grace is the ignition for the motor of gratitude. Bob lives a life of gratitude, serving others in the same way he was served.

When you look back over your life, think about times when you experienced God's grace through the kindness of another person. In what ways can you share God's grace with others?
