Hello ,
How important is the ability for us to hear? This can be something that we take for granted, but it shouldn't be. Being able to hear someone speak to us, or enjoy the night sounds of crickets chirping is an incredible privilege. So many people don't even recognize just how important our hearing is.
In my life, I have known people that had lost most of their hearing, or were completely deaf. The gift of being able to listen to sounds is truly something that I've been thinking a great deal about. I love music, but I am unable to hear some of the things that I used to hear, clearly.
I want to share a link with you that touched my heart. This is a video clip (only about a minute long), that shows a baby who is hearing for the first time (while the mother speaks to them). You may want to get a tissue ready, if you're anything like me. The clip is here.
When I saw this clip, I was reminded (yet again), that God has given us some pretty amazing gifts to be thankful for.
Have a great day and God bless!
