Sisters, Im feeling very positive right now and wanted to share it with you. I was given a gift that I have taken for granted The gift is sign. At a young age I picked up sign language and was able to learn it very easily and fast. I dont have anyone in my family who is deaf, but the elementry school I went to had a large deaf population. I continued to learn through middle school and high school (even dated a deaf boy for a year) I went to college for 2 years studying sign and then dropped out. I havnt really used the sign a lot lately and was looking over my old books last week when a friend called and asked me to help her out. She needed me to sign a few books at the library on Saturday. I said yes I would love to do it. Then later that day, someone from church called and asked if I would sign a song in Sacrament. I was shocked. I had done a song or two in the past but it has been months. They asked if I would be willing to do it on a monthly basis. I agreed. We got really busy and My father who lives out of state came in for a visit Saturday and was going to spend the night and leave Sunday. I have only seen him once in the last 2 years so this was a treat. To make a long story short, I never got a chance to practice the song. It was page 252 Put Your Shoulder To The Wheel. Opening prayer in sacrament, the man asked HF to bless the speakers today and be with them and guide them as they share his message with us. I was really touched when I heard this. When it was time for me to go up front I wasn't even nervous (usually, Im scared to death) and I signed my song without any errors. After sacrament my dh told me he heard someone say while I was signing "now thats a gift from HF" I have been so filled with emotion since Sunday. My testimony has been lacking and I have been questioning things around me lately and I really needed this little kick in the pants. I have been reminded that all the little things that I take for granted are truely gifts to be cherished. Thanks for letting me ramble on. Deidre
