“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” P139:14
After reading Hope’s post: All Children=Blessings Pt 1 and Erin's comment, I realized for so long I have been putting a label on my own child.
Let me quickly explain: the doctor couldn’t get a heart beat a week before my son’s birth, but slowly the heart beat came back. When he was born the doctor said the umbilical cord is around is neck. My baby sat late and struggled to crawl and he struggled to use the right side of his body, so it was then when I took him to the doctor. Later brain scans were done and he was diagnosed with hemiplegia (right side brain damage) and I remember the negative doctor saying accept he will be in a wheelchair and I also remember another doctor saying he will probably get more seizures because of the damage. Forgetting our Darling Lord is in control of everything, so my son is not in a wheelchair and he didn’t get more seizures.
So for years I labeled my child saying he was disabled, then I later rather said special needs, but today I am taking that label of my child!!! Because he is for sure SPECIAL!!!
