Testimony

A chapel
like any other
furnished with benches, a piano and an organ
and a pulpit.

It was testimony meeting.
One by one people got up to express their feelings
about the gospel and their blessings.

This testimony meeting
a lady in a wheelchair
wheeled herself up to the front of the congregation
Her body was crooked and deformed.
She couldn't hold her head up and
had a hard time speaking.
She had cerebral palsy.
but when she spoke
we all understood.
She said, "I am so thankful for the gospel
and for my knowledge of the resurrection.
I know that when I am resurrected
I will have a perfect body
to live in forever.
I can't wait.
