Dear special parent, sometimes, God wraps gifts in cases we may not understand at first, but as the gift unfolds, we are struck by the awesomeness and mercy of God. I used to ask “Why me?” (in sorrow) months ago, but now, I ask “Why me?” out of deep gratitude.

I don’t care what you think may have happened to cause your child to be the way he/she is at the moment – you may say it’s the hospital that caused it; or the doctors may have said it’s genetic; or maybe a sickness shortly after he/she was born… whether it were avoidable or unavoidable: whatever the case you think it is, remember this, “God has ALLOWED it to happen”. Please submit to Him… the PURPOSE will be accomplished.
Follow Him one day at a time – that is what I am doing o! As you go through, things will be clearer. That child is God’s child FIRST and be assured God loves him/her more than you do. He laid down His life for that child and we are all meant for Him. (Rev 4:11)
