September 21 Who is Special?After about 3 weeks, I visited www.mrbrown.com again today. Then I saw something which I felt I must write about. Mr Brown posted a letter from his wife, Ginny to a lady called "Sandra" about the challenges and joys of bringing a special needs child. Follow the link and read about it yourself.
Oftentimes, God places us in seemingly unfair and unpleasant situations for us to be a blessing to others. Ginny, I believe, falls into this category. I have a friend whose son is also autistic; he's going to P1 next year. Things have improved for him. The last time I saw him he looked pretty okay; except that he's still active and a little attention-deficient. So, as I was saying, God takes the adverse circumstances and turns it into a beautiful story to be shared with others; to encourage and to build up. I really want to commend Mr Brown and his wife for weathering the early years bringing up Faith (their firstborn) and now they are blessed with two more beautiful children. Ginny's letter tugs at my heartstrings as well; go read it yourself.
She also brought up another good point. For parents of special needs children, they need to learn to accept them as precious gifts. I would even take a step further. Don't just accept them; EMBRACE THEM. Of course, I don't belong to this categroy of parents so I may be presumptuous in my thinking. Nevertheless, it is true that when we deal with our own children, we do not just accept them. Embracing them will make a difference in their lives.
Life throws us many lessons and assignments; some are easy, others almost impossible. Children happens to be one of the most challenging ones. But it is also through parenting the kids that parents grow as individuals and mature into wonderful adults.
So, to my three children, AnAn, Austin and Justin..........I am better off with you around in my life.
