Signing praises...

No, that's not a typo...  I didn't mean Singing Praises, though that is part of it...  but Signing, ASL, hymns and praises to the Lord...

When I was in the 8th grade, I had this amazing music teacher...  Miss Friesen.  She had an awesome gift with music, instruments, singing, you  name it!  She was also the daughter of two deaf parents.  I learned a lot from her, both during class times and during my lunch times that were sometimes spent in her classroom just having conversations...  she made me feel important, but she also stressed how very much more GOD is important than any human or any thing...

One of the things that she taught my class was to sing and SIGN the song "Take My Life and Let It Be" - it's been many, many years, and I only remember part of the signs now...  but in the last week or so, I have decided that I would really like to teach my children how to sign so many of these hymns that we love to sing...  and even learn new ones...  what a neat way to worship the Lord, and to really focus our singing on what is being said, instead of being distracted by what is around us during worship times...

So, I looked on amazon, I looked at CBD, I looked other places online...  and then (duh!) I looked on Google!  There are free resources online that have people signing to hymns and we can watch them for free and learn them that way!  Cool! 

Well, I thought I'd share one of the links...  it's late and I need to browse through more of them later, but this one has my absolute favorite hymn...  actually, I think Amazing Grace is a favorite for many, many people! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this :)
