After years of working with children with a range of disabilities and needs from mild to profound, one day in one special moment in time, I was able to summarize (by the gift of God) what many years of service to and love for “Special Needs Children” brought to my life.
Here are a few of the lessons these children have taught me:
God loves us all.
All human life has value and purpose.
God measures success & beauty differently than the world does.
Worth isn’t tied to what we accomplish or look like or know. It’s inherent.
"Disabled" children come to earth with gifts & talents just like the rest of us.
Great love & faith & hope are often the gifts of these wonderful people.
There are lots of ways to be "handicapped".
The Spirit of God often works with these beautiful children in unique ways.
I believe that God sent these precious souls to us to teach us about life & what really matters, to ground us, to tie us to Heaven, and to glorify God Himself (See John 9:1-3 & Matthew 15:31). I have been given a witness to the power, majesty, and glory of God as revealed through the lives & growth of God's children. I have become a witness of the value of each life. By “small means” doth God confound the “wise”.
