When reading "Grace" a short story by Vickie L. Sears, a sense of divine intervention comes over the reader. The question of who deserves the grace of God comes in to play as well. The image of a mother is someone who gives grace and is selfless which in this story is portrayed as both Grace and Paul. It's very interesting that in the Bible the word grace is used very freely ("saved by the grace of God") and that Paul one of the main apostles" is used in this story as well. So was it by the grace of God that Jodi and Billy Jim found Grace and Paul, only to lose them in the end. Grace and Paul were merely stepping stones, designed in this story solely to give hope to Jodi and Billy Jim for the hardship of the world in which they lived. .
If Billy Jim and Jodi would never have met Grace and Paul, do you think they could have had a some what normal life? Sears being an orphan herself, in some point in time, had to have some kind of family type environment in which she felt like God was giving her, this graceful place in which she needed to keep her faith in people and life. Jodi and Billy Jim can be considered society's throw a ways and take this experience with Grace and Paul as a new lease in life. Their new lease in life is one that gives the grace that one's parents are responsible for. .
The under tone of the story shows that everyone some point in there lives receives grace or mercy, and this becomes an event that will last them for the rest of there lives. Though it might be tough to bare, ones faith in God should never fall from her/his grace.
Though the loss of Grace and Paul was very critical to both of siblings, the root of the story is, "never give up on grace.".
