Dear Friends of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community,

   I decided to make some cinnamon rolls.  I found the recipe and made sure i had all the ingredients.  I followed the recipe step by step. When I finished, I carefully rolled the dough to form the rolls.  But the dough would not stick together.  Finally, I pinched the rolls together and put them in baking cups.   The rolls looked like smashed muffins instead of cinnamon rolls!

    I was so frustrated!  as I looked at the rolls, I started crying.  The rolls reminded me of my life.  I had not been feeling well for a long time.  The doctors had performed many tests to see what was wrong.  My whole life had changed because of my physical problems.  Then I thought about the words in our Bible Reading today.  I remembered that someday I will be in heaven with God.  There will be no pain or sickness or tears in heaven.   That will be a wonderful place!

    After I thought about heaven, I was able to finish making my cinnamon rolls.  It was wonderful to remember that I can depend on god and His promise of eternal life. —Bonnie Hall, Upland, IN

    "God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.  There will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain."  Revelation 21:4a

PRAYER:  Dear God, thank You that someday I will live with You forever.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
