Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 How beautiful is this and so worth pondering. I have always felt that the value of my son's life may be even greater then my own in that I see everyday how he teaches others about the value of life. As we went onto nurswery school the other morning he was walking down the steps slowly holding my hand as I was counting each step aloud. Slowly, slowly, he was walking down upright, a real accomplishment for him. We were at step number three when i heard in recitation with my own voice, 4, 5, 6. His teacher was waiting at the bottom of the stairs for him and as he made his way down and squealed with delight his teacher said " I look for Micah every morning. His smiling face and joy brings me such happiness. " And i said. " yes, doesn't it. He show's the joy of the Lord and the joy of each new day given. he is just so happy to be alive. And isn't that how we all should feel? " What we take for granted he shows us each and every morning from the minute he wakes up!! God lives in my son, i see him every morning in the smiles and joy he brings into everyone's life. If thwere were a magic pill to " cure " him, I would refuse it. God made my son " perfect " . perhaps it is the rest of us that need the " cure " !!!! Loree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your answer makes me think Of when I said that I thought perhaps God made Adam and Eve just like " our' special kids. That it was the rest of us who were not made in his image. I had a Pastor at the time who loved the thought and wanted me to really think about and expound upon it. He is a sweet non-judgmental man who loves ALL. You don't have to sit in a church pew to know who God is. I get angry at " people " in the church also for doing things that are " unchristianlike " but then remember that I also am a work in progress. It is my relationship with the Lord t and his word that guides, not man. But it is also the loving God I serve who " called " my husband and I to adopt kids with special needs. Because He Loves us all and wants ALL his children to be loved and cared for. I am sure that is why he sent BJ to you and not that minister, because he knew you would love BJ for the precious little soul that he is. But I think perhaps God used you to plant a very valuable seed in that man's mind. I highly doubt he will make the same remark twice!!

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I am a non practicing Christian- for a few reasons that I wont go into, as religion is a subject best left alone . Anyhowwwwwww We used to go to church, and we were studying to get BJ and Natasha christened. My pastor/rveernend ( We are C of E so have no idea really what they are " supposed " to be called) said to me " Do not worry about - for when he passes to the next realm God will make him perfect and whole, just like us. " I came back with " How on earth do you not know he is perfect as he is? How do you know we wont be made like HIM? " He had no idea what to say, and if I read his face right was quite mortified by what I had said. I myself was quite proud of the quick, non violent, non rude response The pastor also believed that Elvis Presley had a hide to record gospel songs as he was not a holy or clean person........Again- I wont go there...... I also would refuse that magic pill- to me BJ is perfect the way he is- as are all our kids- normal or no- disability or no. People forget - we all have special needs of our own. With kids with disabilities ya know what they are with us " normal " folk it isn't always easy to see or find- mine is prob being too verbal > If thwere >were a magic pill to " cure " him, I would refuse it.
