A long time ago I heard definitions of Justice, Mercy, and Grace, these have always stayed with me.
Justice - When you get what you deserve.
Mercy - When you don't get what you deserve.
Grace - When you get what you don't deserve.
Grace has been a major force in my life. Starting with my wife, how she fell in love with me and married me is something I am not sure I deserved. My life's work has been to confirm that her heart did not mislead her. She went to a great school and could have chosen from the cream of the crop, yet she chose me. Grace had everything to do with that.
Then with having dogs, both of my dogs (Abby and Grace!) love me unconditionally. Despite my short comings and faults, every moment they are happy to see me and give me all that they have.
As a father, forget about it. Nothing I have ever done in my life is deserving of the way my son makes me feel. He makes me feel amazing, my life's quest is to make sure he always feels the same way.
And now as we add another chapter in all of our lives, Grace is at work. We are expecting our 2nd child on April 21st and it is the most amazing gift in my life to be welcoming another child into our family.
My wife's pregnancy has been very smooth so far and I am hoping that it stays that way. It is funny how when you already have a little one you seem to have less time to focus on the pregnancy.
The journey only gets more exciting and the rewards all the sweeter. A big thank you to all of our friends and family who are excited for us. We will need your help and support along the way to ensure that our childrens lives are full.
Your support and love means more than you could know.
