Childlike faith! That's something we could all use.
Last Friday Trent and I went to visit a family that was part of our Wonderfully Made ministry from the former church we attended.
The husband and father of the family just passed away about two months ago. He was 95 years old. The wife and mother, Fran, a wonderful Christian lady, is 89. She took care of him for a long, long time. Not only did she take care of him, but she has a daughter who is 65 and has a mild mental disability and a daughter, Janet, who is 49 and has Down Syndrome. They are an incredible family.
During the visit Fran told me how Thursdays were pancake and bacon days. As Janet was cooking breakfast the morning before, she made the statement, "God must be serving Dad pancakes and bacon today." Isn't that incredible? Sometimes those who have disabilities can see and understand things in ways that we can't. So actually, that disability is an ability! What a wonderful blessing!
