Listen to the joy...

Jenny sent me an Instant Message the other night. Aside from her skydiving activities, she's involved in a group at work that meets to socialize and do community service. This week, she went to Ronald MacDonald House to do crafts with the residents. She met a little boy named Tony, in for his 11th surgery. Tony doesn't talk well, but he sang "Amazing Grace" for her. He loves the song so much that his mother spoke of taking him to a funeral and when they played the song for the deceased, Tony began to laugh and sing, he knew the song! Somehow, I think God and the deceased were smiling from Heaven. We forget sometimes to listen to the joy. I think Tony walks blessed amongst us and doesn't forget to listen. Jenny also posted photos on the family loop of her skydiving adventure. Looks like she had a lot of fun and they even made a video. I'll get to watch it when she comes home at summer's end. Okay, off to work!
