At church


I have come to know when to stand, when to kneel, and when to sit, but I am always still very much afraid that I will stand when I am supposed to sit or kneel. So, what do I do?

I listen very carefully to what is going on around me. I sit very close to the one next to me, usually a family member, and I can tell when they stand, sit, or kneel. At Communion time I usually get assistance to receive my Communion.

When it comes to the sign of Peace, I usually turn to those beside me and to those behind and in front of me and put out my hand. Most times it works but there is the odd occasion when someone chooses not to shake hands and this is okay. The great thing for me is that I get a chance to be me.

I’m Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advocate, wishing you a terrific day and urging you to go out there and tell others about my blogs. Visit www.rnib.org to learn more.
