Heaven's Special Child

Today was an emotional day....

I am emotionally drained and physically exhausted! I am to tired tonight to write about the details of the wonderful day, but wanted to post a copy of the program and the sweetest poem.

I am so proud of Tiffany and Jason and the strength they showed today when they stood and talked about their sweet angel, who blessed our lives in so many ways!

We are grateful for their amazing example!

They gave out these bookmarks with the sweetest poem on the back that read:

~ Heaven’s Special Child ~

A meeting was held quite far from earth.

"It’s time again for another birth,"

Said the Angels to the Lord above,

"This special child will need much love.

Her progress may seem very slow,

And she’ll require extra care

From the folks she meets way down there.

She may not run or talk or play

Her thoughts may seem quite far away,

In many ways she won’t adapt,

And she’ll be known as handicapped.

So let’s be careful where she’s sent

We want her life to be content.

Please, Lord, find the parents who

Will do a special job for you.

They will not realize right away

The leading role they’re asked to play,

But with this child sent from above

Comes stronger faith and richer love.

And soon they’ll know the privilege given

In caring for this gift from Heaven,

Their precious charge, so meek and mild

Is Heaven’s very special child!"

I love this poem and cry every time I read it! Now, I am off to bed and hopefully going to get some much needed sleep!

Good night and lots of Love,
