What Do You Think He Said?
In this episode we hear of Jesus healing a man who is deaf with a speech impediment. Jesus is so kind to this man. After his ears are opened, the first sound he hears is Jesus’ voice. What do you think was the first thing he said to Jesus? What would you have said?

Sonnet 43
By Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
