Today, I have a new student. She is an 18 year old girl with Down syndrome. She can’t read v well and didn’t speak very well. But she has a sweet smile. Happy, enjoys listening to stories and is so eager to learn.
Her mum said that no school will accept her and she also needs special diet as her daughter has diabetics. Twice a week, she needs to go to the hospital for therapy. Once a week, she goes for her special swimming classes for her physical growth. All these can be costly.
I thank God for putting her in my life. I’m totally convicted. Seeing her makes me feel grateful for what I have. I have 2 beautiful girls. Healthy and able to go to normal steam school. (Sometimes complain in my heart about Verdelle’s dyslexia) My 2 girls can able enjoy activities like ballet, swimming and running and lots of other fun which this girl is not able to do. I asked her if she has a dream. She can’t answer but said that she likes food a lot and enjoys reading books. I told she can be librarian. She looked at me with wide opened eyes.( like telling me, "I can?")
I pray that God will continue to use me to help other kids and even mums who need God’s strength and hope.
Only in God we have hope and have strength to move on the challenging trials in life.
luv
