I Heard the Rain



When I went to have my hearing aids adjusted I mentioned to the receptionist that I had heard birds. She said wait until you hear the rain. Then she told me about a patient that had just gotten her new hearing aids and walked outside. She came back in crying and told the receptionist that she had just heard the sound of rain for the first time in years. She was so happy.

I woke up this morning and thought that Curt was making soft strange noises in his sleep and was dreaming, when I realized that is was thunder. I laid there in bed and watched the light show through the window in our bedroom. I got up and put in my new ears and went to our computer room and listened to the rain & hail on the aluminum roof then I went in the front room and opened the front door and listened to the sound of the rain on the driveway.

It is surprising how we take things so much for granted. This is a such a beautiful world we live in with wonderful sounds.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Give thanks for unknown blessings
already on their way.

You are doing a wonderful job. Keep it up. We often don't realize what blessings are heading our way do we!! We must be grateful everyday for everything that is given to us.
