If Only He Could Hear

Our church has been undergoing renovations these past weeks. Yesterday I was able to watch some of the workers doing repairs in our comfort room. In one corner, there were two workers, of which one is deaf. I was amazed at how the deaf was able to manage working with the normal people. However, what really caught my attention was how they were able to work together and finish a lot of things despite of disability. If only the deaf could hear, they could have accomplished more things quickly. As I was looking at the workers, I asked myself, if they could work well together how much more we, who are normal and gifted with the sense of hearing. Often, we just need to listen to one another to accomplish more things rather doing our tasks alone.
