"Jesus Died and Rose Again!"

The title of this post was Grant's bible verse at Sunday School yesterday and his buddy, Val, who is also his private speech therapist, came up to me after church and said, "Grant said his bible verse today!" She was so excited and said she almost had tears in her eyes when he said it. He said it to me at church and then later that day to our friend's at their house. Today I asked him to say it again to see if he still remember it and he did. He doesn't say it all at once but with prompting but this is still so great!

It goes like this:
Me: "Jesus"
Grant: "Jesus" while signing for Jesus
Me: "died"
Grant: "di"
Me: "and rose again"
Grant: "ro a in" while raising his arms for rose again

Grant: big smile :-)

Joel and I are just thrilled. This is his first bible verse to ever say and what a gift it was to receive on Easter Sunday. It's because of this verse that we have hope for our future and that we can live with peace and joy in our hearts. May we never forget this verse!
