Joy!

What brings me joy in life?  Beyond

knowing that Jesus is my Savior, 

I guess it would be learning to sign,

friends, family, people I know

are in my corner.  I hope they 

know that about me as well!

I have had this song book for ages

and all of a sudden I'm getting a 

lot of use out of it!  I think the card

turned out OK.  I'm just not doing

my best right now, I don't think.

But it is what it is.  I did order a

few more patterns so get ready to

see more stitching.

 

Class was OK last night.  I had a bad

headache all day so I don't feel like

I did all that great, but Matt, the deaf

young man, understood what I was

saying and that's what matters.  Pam

read an Aseop's tale.  Then one person

put it into "real" words, and a second

signed the short story.  Thankfully

most of them were very short!

Pam did tell me that she felt like

my confidence was getting much better,

so I was glad about that.  Maybe next

week I won't have a headache.

 

A year ago today the world lost a

really wonderful man.  My daughter in

law, Pam, her mother, LuAnn, and brother,

Tim, as well as his wife, Sue, and Cody,

are all remembering the year anniversary

of the death of their husband, father and

father in law, Dennis.  He was a quiet guy,

but look out for the zingers!  He had a

sharp sense of humour and would do

anything for anyone any time.  The world

is a little less happy without him here

but Heaven is really celebrating him.

Usually anniversaries are used to celebrate

a good thing like weddings.  But as we 

remember Dennis, it can be a good thing,

because we celebrate his life and the

things that he brought to the world and

all those around him.  Most of all, we

celebrate the fact that he knew Jesus as

his Savior and is with Him this very

moment.  In the end, no matter how much

we mourn a "lost" loved one, we know they

aren't really lost if they knew Jesus.

And we know we will all be reunited

once more!

 

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
