I received my giving key on Mother's Day 2015 from my church. We were able to choose from Love, Faith, Hope, and Grace. I chose GRACE- since a grace-giving conversation is not what surrounded me growing up, and I struggle to give myself grace in my head quite a lot of the time.
About a month after I received it, a good friend of mine found out that her husband had recently fallen back into former sex-addiction behavior patterns, and I have the opportunity to help walk this couple through healing. I wound up giving my Grace key to the husband, since eating buckets of shame will not aid the healing process. My hope is that he feels the weight of that key on his neck as I did, for as long as he needs to in order to realize that grace is forever and was given before he ever made this mistake. And that healing is always possible.
