The calm and showing grace in Life

Right now we’re in a period of calm and in these moments he is everything I want and need him to be. He's loving, attentive, and completely focused on me. There are no distractions, its just us and we're able to fully enjoy and appreciate each other. The last few months these periods of calm have been few and far between so I will savor them with my whole being.

I feel I've given grace in the midst of everything going on or at least tried to. I'm not always great at it but I've tried. I've been very open about my jealousy and trust issues and have asked him for the same grace I've tried to show him.  Some of the issues I brought into our relationship from my own personal experiences and relationships including our previous relationship. Grace is hard to give and to receive and we're both learning and growing. We're both working on giving and receiving it. There is no "earning" it. It is a personal choice on both parts and at least for now we are choosing grace for each other. 

So for now, I'm savoring the calm, the much needed affection, and grace.
