Why speak with Grace?

We are aware of how we feel good around certain people. When we think about it, it’s the gentleness, goodness, and love expressed by these people with the words they use. It’s how they speak, about how they make us feel with the words they use. It’s how their heart overflow gets expressed with the words they express.
