grateful

This past Wednesday my Young Women's group had a special guest come and talk with us. The man was about 60 years old and was born deaf with tunnel vision. He later went completely blind at age 40. He is now married and his wife translates everything for him. When we communicated with him we would do sign language in his hand and then his wife would tell us what he said back.

He was an inspirational man. He has been given some hard circumstances to live under and has made it work and found joy. Listening to his experiences and life made me so grateful for the simple things in life. I am so grateful to be healthy and have a body that functions and works normal. Aren't you?
