Magic came early this spring!
My kiddo, who was supposedly doomed to a vegetative state until his predicted death by age 4, went to the Tim Tebow prom last month with a classy “typical” classmate in a hott pink dress, who donned him with a crown and made him king for the evening.
He turns 17 this April.
Security on the main floor was tight as a drum. We peacock-proud parents, along with well-wishers and assorted spectators, were relinquished to the balcony Atop the main floor of a local Episcopal reception hall balcony.
Parents reconnected. Teens connected. Souls and dreams flourished…
Dear God, thank you that there is a place in Heaven and here on earth for everyone.
Help us remember that regardless of health or illness, strength or infirmity, life or death, earth or Heaven, sane or insane, righteous or sinners, we belong to You.
During this Lenten season, Lord, let us wrap our brains around Your concepts of letting go of convention and embracing what is different, foreign and changed.
Transform us, God, into what You would have us be for You, not for men or earth or the lives we know here on earth.
Shine Your mercy on us, Father, that we might slow Down and cherish every moment, with the faith of Your promises beyond.
I didn’t know that about your son. Amazing and wonderful! Praise God.
Thank you, Mrs. Betsy. David Paul lives up to his Biblical names – not the obvious guy in the crowd to be hand-picked by God for great things, but God does great things through Him for His perfect will, slicing through man’s myopic assumptions and expectations. I just have to sit back and marvel at God’s handiwork. Each day is a blessing!
