this story about being like Jesus reminded me of what happened to me today.

We have a deaf woman coming to Daybreak now, named Ronita (not sure how it's 
spelled.).  She goes to work at a pizza place every day, so she's probably 
occupied there, but I wonder if she feels left out at Daybreak, because one 
of our facilitators, Suzanne, has a very difficult time communicating with 
her, it seems.  I talked with Suzanne about it, since I know what it's like 
to have severe hearing loss, and what works for me.  Well, today we had our 
Easter party.  I got 6 eggs from the egg hunt, with candy inside, except one 
of them had one of nine prizes inside, which I redeemed for a $5 Walmart 
gift card.  The idea came to me that maybe I should give Ronita some of my 
candy.  No, I didn't want to!  I told the lord I wasn't willing, and asked 
him to make me willing and help me to want to.  Then, during our last 
activity, in which Suzanne called out numbers for door prizes, Ronita was 
presented with a tough dilema; She's diabetic, so she couldn't have the 
chocolates that were being offered.  I got Suzanne's attention and offered 
one of my stuffed animals I'd won today.  I got the candy in trade!  It 
wasn't too difficult to give up my stuffed prize, as I don't really like 
them unless the fur is real.  So, what am I supposed to learn from this? 
I'd like your input!

thanks!
