Food for Thought

For about twelve years I was involved in ministry with less - capable adults.

Yesterday I did a quick visit with two of them, E. & M.(He is E. and she is M.)
They are a married couple who own a home and have jobs.

Neither one can read, and they are able to maintain a household because they are coached by folks from an agency.

Yesterday M. was very excited and told me someone is going to begin to visit and teach her to read while she is at work. There will be homework and someone from the workplace is willing to help with that.

They are both past fifty. (A lot past.)
M. has expressed a desire to learn to read. I don't know if her abilities are that high, but if desire means anything, she will.

The way best to describe M. is she would be several inches taller if she could stand erect. Her hands resemble claws with skin, and joint pain in her hands is ever present.

She was abused as a child, and often locked away, hidden.

M. has a very strong belief in God and believes she will learn to read.

Because her belief is strong, so do I.



Shalom, Y'all
