Episode 62: Packed & Ready

Ever seen one of those videos of a baby with total hearing loss hearing for the first time post surgery? You see the too-awesome-to-comprehend-feeling overwhelm them as an unspeakably beautiful thing they’ve never experienced and didn’t even know existed enters their sphere. Or the child with profound vision challenges getting glasses, seeing clearly for the first time the parent they’ve known primarily through touch, sound, taste, smell; like a vision of one made in the image of God?
