So, I just ran down into the basement ...
I wanted to ask Caloy about something, and he was on the video phone.
He explained he was talking to a deaf couple; the wife is deaf and her husband is deaf and blind. She was sitting there to interpret the phone call for him.
I popped my head around the corner and the 4 of us started to chat ... just the sight of this adorable couple made my heart melt. They are an older couple, he, Mark, looked like my Mom's Dad ... and sitting by his side was his sweet wife signing everything that we signed ... the only difference was that his hands were resting on top of her hands, so he could feel everything she signed.
Caloy got an email from another friend, Barb ... she is an amazing Christian woman who has interpreted for Caloy many times. She emailed Caloy regarding Mark and his wife ... Mark wants to start up a website for deaf and blind people, as a community outreach. I asked Mark how they knew Barb ... and he said that they met a long time ago at church.
We chatted some more ... and I said I was going to go and check on our kiddies ... Mark said, before you go, I want to share a song with you.
So, there was Caloy and I, watching through our little video phone, a man and his wife, that we had never met before, and Mark signed to us the most beautiful song.
It was about Jesus.
He signed about meeting Jesus and how the angels sing Hallelujah ... the beauty and peace you feel forever when you have Jesus in your heart.
It was amazing.
Not a word was said. Just this sweet man, without seeing anything, without hearing a word, and he just wanted to share with us a song about Jesus. Nothing more, nothing less ... just something so beautiful he wanted us to see.
When he was done, Caloy and I told him how beautiful it was, and his wife was there to lift her hands up under his so she could interpret for us how thankful we were.
What a Divine moment ... it took my breath away.
Being a sighted and hearing person, I can not even begin to wrap my mind around what Mark's world is ... but from only meeting him a few moments ago, I know what his heart is.
Amazing.
