I don't think a lot of people reflect on that. After a while they just take their reading and writing for granted and don't look back at the time when someone lovingly and painstakingly introduced them to the joys of the written word. Indeed literacy is a gift we should not take for granted. Where would we be if we were not able to unlock the 'mystery of written word'?Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-60046077821013152082016-10-05T11:38:48.416-11:002016-10-05T11:38:48.416-11:00This is so beautiful.

You are right when you say it is the gift of providence to be amongst the chosen... I'll read you "richness of script" a few more times and wish I wrote one as good :)<br />PS<br />I enjoyed your interview with Sherry.rallentandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980559347805844568noreply@blogger.com
