We all know the song Amazing Grace... Ours is a story of that grace. Think of it. "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound..." Have you ever heard the sound of grace? We have. I (Elijah), hear God's grace every time I hear Leslie call my name. It was God's grace that saved my life, both physically and spiritually. It's by God's grace alone that I have every good thing in my life, and I hear the sound of that every time I hear my mom laugh, my family casually talk over dinner, and now, when I hear my future wife call my name. Grace. How sweet that sound is. Grace. I've (Leslie) been sitting on this word for a while now and wondered how to articulate it. There's weight to the word 'grace,' and the best way I feel to describe it is when I think of the simplicity of what breathing feels like. To breathe is effortless, yet without it, we wouldn't live - essential. That feeling when you need a deep breath and the peace it brings as you feel your rib cage expand and release. That exchange alone is grace. Undeserving and effortless. Nothing needed to be done or earned. It's just what it 'is—the extension of grace. As I've gotten to know Elijah, I've constantly seen the power of grace. I learn from the way he extends unconditional kindness towards others. I see it in the way the Lord has woven his story and united it with mine along the way. I see it when my sisters call him brother and my brother asks for him. When his nieces and nephews call me 'Tia', his family welcomes me in. Effortless. Breath. It's grace... How sweet the sound. I can't wait for more! :) Ephesians 2:8, 2 Corinthians 12: 9
