Alex’s Party
Sunday, June 29th, 2008I
am blessed! I am so blessed by the joy that a child can give. By the
joy of seeing prayers answered. By the joy of seeing dreams coming
into fulfillment. I am so blessed by seeing God’s will being fulfilled
in His own time. I am so blessed.
It
is a joy of knowing that you are in His will and calling, and seeing the
promises and purposes coming to pass before your very eyes. I am
blessed!
This
child came to the party today. And I praise God! I am overjoyed! It
is really something that I am so happy about that I doubt any of the
other teachers could understand. It was heartwarming seeing him blend
into the crowd of children. It was heartwarming seeing his peers
helping him. It was heartwarming seeing how people reacted to his
‘different’ funny antics. It was heartwarming just seeing him being
whom God has created Him to be.
People
who may not know me, I work fulltime with children. They are the only
motivation that make me travel 3 crazy hours a day to work, even
though I hate being packed up like sardines in the trains. I must
say, my rewards really comes from the satisfaction of serving these
children and seeing their life being transformed. It is trully
amazing to see God in these little ones.
It
is coming to two years now. I remember I used to wonder, why God did
You created them? Which part of You is in them Lord?
Recently
I just realized these verses….
Jesus
heals a man born blind.
John
9:2 “Teacher”, his disciples asked Him. “why was this man born
blind?” was it a result of his own sins or those of his parents?”
John
9:3 “It was not because of his sins or his parent’s sins” Jesus
answered “He was born blind
so the power of God could be seen in him”
So
that the power of God could be seen in him…….
I
realized that these people really need God, and that His power really
could be seen in them. Really, really, really……. so the power of God
could be seen in them…… the power of God in the ‘weak’…. it is
awesome.
There
are a few people whom i am inspired by and really their life do
reflect what is written in the scriptures.
1
Corinth 1:27 “Instead, God deliberately chose things the world
consider foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And
he chose those who are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God
chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all,
and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important,
so that no one can boast in the presence of God.”
1
Corinth 1:31 “The person who wishes to boast, should boast only of
what the Lord has done. “
Who
would have thought that someone who is quadriplegic in a wheelchair,
unable to use her hands could be used by God to travel so many
parts of the world to share her life stories, to preach and to
advocate. Who would have thought that someone born without hands and legs
could be used by God to inspire and to motivate school children,
touching and changing their lives. Who would have thought that
someone who is made disabled by a sickness could be used by God to
start social works to serve the poor and needy. Who would have thought?
These
3 life are of real people. Real people whom I am inspired by and
sometimes in awe and in wonder of the mysteries of God. God can use
anyone, just about anyone who is willing.
I
believe the children whom i serve, God can use them. So many times
their life have touched and blessed me to see the wonders and
goodness of God. I have read and hear of so many testimonies and
stories of parents whom if they have an option, they would still
choose to have their child with special needs in their life. They
can’t think of how life could be any better without their special
needs child.
I
am blessed. I can’t think of how my life would have been any better
without having to meet and serve these children. Trully i am blessed!
