Someone Cares: Story Time

The life of a senior woman who is losing her hearing is brightened by the generosity of a friend who read the Bible to her.

Someone Cares: Story Time

My sister Julia loved the Bible. And Guideposts. Even as her vision failed, she wouldn’t let her daughter throw out her old issues, in case she was miraculously healed. I tried reading to her, but my voice wasn’t strong enough—I made it only a few paragraphs into a story before Julia said she couldn’t hear me.

Then I remembered our friend Grady Henderson. She had a good, clear voice. When Grady opened the Bible and started reading, Julia broke into the biggest smile I’d seen in a long time. Grady was happy she had something to offer.

Every one of us has a way to serve the Lord and put a smile on someone’s face. If you have a great voice, why not look for someone who wants to hear a great story?
