Thanking God for His Grace: Amazing Grace

Once again my version of TGIF - where I reflect on the week and simply thank God for His Grace.  His simple grace at times, his quiet grace, and times like lately, his amazing, amazing, amazing Grace that roars louder than a lion.

This Friday marks two weeks seizure-free.  Having faith that something like this can happen is one thing.  Experiencing that it is happening, totally another thing.

Another amazing thing.

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

Truly, the Amazing Grace of HOPEISM is what stands out this week.  In that when you search and search for the right person who will help you, but can't seem to find that person, that God calls someone else to make that connection to the person they know who can help you.

In the car on the way to school this morning, I had a talk with Brandon.  I asked him if he realized he has been seizure-free for two weeks.  If he felt as good as I feel for him!  Of course he didn't answer.  He is non-verbal.  But I talk to him like that anyway.  Oh how I would love to know if he feels the difference.  If he knows...

And then the song Amazing Grace played on the radio and we had us a bona-fide worship moment...

How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood
His mercy rains
Unending love
Amazing Grace

And as if that weren't enough, when I went to pick him up from school, as he was coming out the door with his therapist beside him, I suddenly saw a shocked look on her face.  She stopped and looked at Brandon and her eyes got so big.  My first reaction was to think she heard that all too familiar choking sound that signals a seizure.

When she got to the car and opened the door, she looked at me with the beginning of tears in her eyes and said that on the porch when he looked my way, he said "Mom" as in putting together for the first time that I was indeed, his "Mom."

Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound...

Thank you Lord, for your Amazing Grace this week.
