Love

Sunday 21st September 2008

Proverbs 15:17 "A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate"

Sometimes during Deaf Church I sit and look at the Deaf signing and I am simply LOST lol. Most times I string together the signs that I do understand and try to understand what they are communicating. On this particular Sunday while I was looking on, I realised that Roger signed my name more than once! I looked at Ian for some clarification and he explained.

Ian explained that Roger was telling everyone to love me because I have shown them love! How could my little heart not melt? How could I not be encouraged to keep on keeping on?

I remembered the day before while we were eating and Roger offered me some of his fried shrimp from his box. I refused because I did not have a fork. He looked at me and said that it did not matter because we are all family. How could I express what those words meant to me at that moment and even up to today?

It brings me back to the first time Himlater told me "I love you". I was shocked and I did not know how to respond. I dont think I responded at all. Maybe I smiled to be polite... Yes it was awkward but as time elapses I am learning so much about love that its no longer awkward.

Hmmm...I guess the title of this blog works both ways..
