Hi there, here I am again. I will try not to ramble to much, but if I do please forgive me. This has been Special Needs week and that is a real passion for me. God is the creator of all things. He made each and every person in His Holy Image. He created them, that all might see God's wondrous glory through them. They are not contiguous, you can not catch their disability. They simply want to be accepted. They don't want our pity, just our love. They don't want you to look away. They want you to look inside their soul and see they are the same as a "normal" person with a little different makeup. They want you to be their friend. How hard is it for us to simple say "hello"? How hard is it for us to ask them to join us for a lunch? How hard is it to love those who are "different"? Jesus came to this earth to be our perfect sacrifice and save us. He did over 30 miracles and the majority of those were people with Special Needs. If Jesus could be with those who have disabilities, why can't we, who call ourselves Christians, at least spend a couple hours a week being a friend to those who need us. Maybe they just need someone to listen, someone to hug them and tell them they are loved. God gave me a passion for those with disabilities. But don't get me wrong I have not always had this passion. It has been a while coming. I want every person and family that is touched by Special Needs can come and worship God, that they have a Christian Church family that will be there for them. God wants everyone to hear the gospel. It is my job as Director of Special Needs/Disability Ministry to make sure all can come and hear. It does not matter what their disability is, my job is that they hear the gospel. God will take care of the rest. It is also my job to make sure that their family can come hear the gospel and worship God. So I pray that God gives me the strength, the ability to make sure that all who come can do just that. I welcome all who come. God please give me the strength, the love and the ability to accommodate all who come through our doors who need a place to bring their loved ones who have Special Needs and Disabilities. May I always show your love and care for all. Lord guide me that I may teach your word the way you would have me do. Thank you for each and everyone that you have brought to us. Lord please raise up others with the passion for this ministry to work for those who you will bring to us. Let me never do anything for myself, only for you Lord God. I am nothing but your servant. You are almighty and your glory is my goal. Thank you for all the blessings you give to me. Lord let me always remember it is all for YOU and YOU are all that matters. May I always do your will and never mine. In Jesus Christ Holy name I pray. AMEN
Thank you friends for listening to my rambling.
