The key aspect of grace in the film is this hired father. Everything about him resonates grace. He enters the relationship as if he truly belongs there. We get the feeling that for this day, he does not so much act as Frankie’s father as he becomes Frankie’s father. More and more, we come to understand that the things he does do not grow out of some sense of job description, rather they are founded upon love.

As all these expressions of grace interact, we see the many ways that grace begets grace. There is both a grace of giving and a grace of receiving. As each bit of grace is given and received, it rebounds in such a way that all those involved are blessed in the process.

Perhaps that’s why I was more affected by this film than I expected – because this story is a bit of grace that is shared with us. If we receive such grace, we will be blessed.
