Both of my parents had an appointment to get new hearing aids a few weeks ago. Then my mom ended up in the hospital. During that time, my dad realized how much he was struggling with his ability to hear and my sister took him to get his new devices. Since then, he has been trying to get used to them, but there has been such a huge improvement in his hearing. Today my mom was able to get her new hearing aids. I did the same thing with her as with my dad – “Did you hear that? Can your hear this?” In the car, she heard a clicking sound that she didn’t recognize – it was the blinker. I thought about how difficult it must be for both my parents as they navigate through unable to hear what I take for granted. I am so happy that they have these new devices to help bring some of the missing world back to them.

I Found God today in the capability of my parents to be able to hear better and enjoy more of the world around them.
