Why name joy the gift in trials? Because trials keep us from becoming complacent about our loving God and Savior when we are forced to our knees and the tears won’t stop. It is only then that our communion with our God is the purest. Trials drive us to run boldly to the throne of grace, to the safety of being on our faces in the presence of God, and to spend time in deep communion with God. When we are hurting, we don’t suffer as much from weak, shallow, and meaningless minutes with the Lord, We learn to relish and anticipate hours with God! The experience of communion and intimate fellowship with God is the very depiction of joy!

That is the case here for us. I had taken a few classes to learn sign when
I was in the workforce, but always had an interest for communication. We
are working at learning more here at home now with homeschooling but I'm
thinking of going back to school to maybe be able to do more than learn it
for casual conversation.
I heard that some states are trying to take signing and use it for
curriculum as a second language for students. Anyone hear more about this?
