What Does Gods Grace Sound Like to you???

Once Again I copied this from a friends from Facebook, I like it and i thought i would share it with you.

The Sound of GraceMilan Ford I'm sure you'll agree that one of the greatest (and most familiar) hymnsof the church is Amazing Grace, written by John Newton. I don't believe there has ever been a song written that captures thevery essence of the transforming power God has over our lives asbelievers like Amazing Grace.However, I must admit that as a child, every time I would hear this hymnsung in church, there was one phrase that would always leave meconfused.Just didn't make much sense to me."Amazing Grace,How Sweet The Sound,That Saved A Wretcchhh..."Wait just one minute!! Did anyone hear what I just heard?How sweet the sound? Huh?Every time I heard that phrase I would look up and around at all thegrownups singing, just to see if anyone was as puzzled as I was. Neverfound one.

Finally, I mustered enough courage to ask someone. But not just anyone.I went to see Leola Ford (no relation). She was one of the seniormembers of our church's choir. Leola was somewhat of a source of inspiration for our church, andespecially for me. Strangely enough, it was not because of her singing.But rather it was because Leola Ford...was blind.After service one day, I asked her a question that my inquiring mindjust had to know. She just seemed like the right person to ask. The Question: Does Grace Have A Sound?I remember the look on her face like it was yesterday. But moreimportantly, I remember the answer she gave me. It is one that hasstayed with me for quite some time.

Leola reached out to locate the top of my head, and as she gave me a fewlight pats, she leaned over and whispered these words:Live A Little Longer, Milan. You'll Hear It.While it didn't make sense to me then, fast forward several years, and Inow understand exactly what she meant. Grace indeed has a sound.It's the sound my minivan made last week, just as I slammed on thebreaks to avoid colliding with that metal object that flew off the backof a truck in front of me.It's the sound of my wife's 87-year old grandmother blowing out thecandles on her birthday cake last month, as she endures theinconvenience of dialysis treatment every week.It's the sound my new neighbor's keys make, as she opens the door to ahome that someone else last summer no longer had the money to keep.

It's the sound of yet another grocery receipt being printing out, aftermy wife and I spent the night before racking our brains as to how wewere going to fill the fridge.The sounds of grace are all around us.If we could ever (as believers) become blind to some of things wecomplain about regarding our lives, and open our ears towards a faithfulGod, we may be surprised to discover a symphony of grace and salvation.

God's grace is more than amazing.It's the sweetest sound I know
