WOW!
What a rude awakening when we stepped off the plane in Seattle last Wednesday morning! We left Florida very early in the morning amid mild and muggy temperatures. When we dropped down out of the clouds in Seattle the roofs of the buildings were snow covered and we could see snow flakes flying by the window of the plane. That was kind of exciting since we are from Florida. We could almost hear the snow crunching under our feet and feel the snow flakes hitting us in the face. However, when we got on the ground, it was a cold rainy 37 degrees and no snow. The cold rainy temperature outside did not reflect the warm reception we received at the meeting of the Council For Exceptional Children. Once we were inside the convention center and began to meet the people, we forgot about weather outside. Those who work with special needs children are themselves very special compassionate people. What a joy to be able to tell them about the Children's Audio Bible that is available for the special needs children they work with.
One very interesting person we met was Dylan. He was happy to receive an Audio Bible. Dylan actually had an exhibit booth there at the conference. His booth featured his beautiful art work, shown in the picture at the left.
Responses From Recipients
A mother told us that her special needs child loves his Audio Bible. It is very important to him. He listens to it all the time.
Dee wrote in an email, "THANK YOU for the wonderful Audio Bible you sent to my husband. He will spend many days listening to it over and over. Bless each of you as you go about doing the Lord's work."
I echo Dee's words in saying thank you to all of you who pray and support this ministry for you too are helping to do the Lord's work. You are very much a part of getting Audio Bibles to those who can not read from a printed Bible.
As we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord this Easter season, may He fill your heart with the joy of new life. He is risen! He is risen indeed!
That is how I see it.
Until next time,
Jim
