This Is NOT a Christmas Story: When Grace Says Less | 12 Days of Christmas Ep 6
This is not a Christmas story.
This is a story about perspective.
About how the same moment can mean everything to one person—and almost nothing to another.
Over the next twelve episodes on Together 4 Good, we’re sharing real stories that remind us we don’t all experience joy, meaning, or even God in the same way.
This is not a Christmas story.
But it is a real one.
In this episode, Janet shares a story from her teenage years—one involving a beat-up car, a lot of effort from a loving father, and a mistake made just days after everything was finally fixed.
What follows isn’t anger or disappointment, but restraint. Grace. Love that refuses to shame.
This story reminds us that accidents happen, mistakes are inevitable, and grace is often shown in what isn’t said.
