Here's Your Sign

While we were singing in Cedar Falls, IA at the Cedar Valley Sing we mentioned that our youngest daughter is interested in art, foreign languages, and sign language. A wonderful lady came up to our table afterward and told us she was was a retired teacher of ASL (American Sign Language). She spent a little time with Alisha and taught her some basics including "I Love You" seen in this picture. This considerate lady even came out to our Sunday night concert with a bag of ASL instruction books for Alisha to take home and study! God puts the neatest people in our path.

We ended our concert that night as always with a very powerful and moving song. You could feel the spirit of God so present in the room as the pastor came to the front of the sanctuary. As we took a seat in the pew next to Alisha, she turned to her mama and signed "Jesus died for me." With a tear in her eye, Pam whispered, "Yes He did." Then Alisha signed, "and for you, too." Alisha wrapped her arms around Pam and they shared big hug.

Folks, it doesn't get much better than that.
