6.17-What are the positives that come from a child born with disabilities?

6.17

Today as I was in the lazy river I was with a young boy, 14, who was a special needs person.  He was being watched over by a woman who might have been a mom or grandmother or even caretaker.  What I noticed was the joy in the heart of the young man and the love and watchfulness in the heart of this lady with him.

She chased him and he laughed.  He chased her and laughed.  He screamed with delight and she told him to not be so loud, but through the entire experience I could sense the joy of God in both of their hearts.

John 9.

9 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. ² His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

³ “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. ⁴ As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. ⁵ While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
⁶ After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. ⁷ “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
