Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hear nothing but silence from the time you were born till the moment you passed on?
Or what it would be like to see the world and everything in it in black & white, with no ability to "see" color at all?
For various reasons, some folks are born completely deaf and others are born completely colorblind.
But thanks to modern technology many of those people are now able to experience the things they have been missing out on since the moment they made their entrance into the world.
This fantastic short video shows the reactions of several people at the moment they're able to hear or see colors for the first time in their lives.
It sure helped me understand just how much we tend to take some incredibly important things for granted. Enjoy.
Note: With this post I’m testing the placement of a video in a Substack post/email. Please let me know if you’re able to watch it. Thanks a bunch!

RICK!!!!! THIS WAS PHENOMENAL!!! And quite the tear-jerker, to be honest. Wow. We are blessed beyond measure, yet moan and groan if a Walmart (which those people at the end of the video would think is fairy world!) happens to be out of our favorite coffee, etc.
We take wayyyy too much for granted.
Blessed beyond measure— THANK YOU JESUS!
Yes, it worked.
