I just came across this from the first sbc forumn and wanted to share it
Moms Of Handicapped Kids Are Special!
Most Women Become Mothers By Accident, Some By Choice A Few By Social Pressures And A Couple By Habit. This Year, Nearly 100,000 Women Will Become Mothers Of Handicapped Children. Did You Ever Wonder How Mothers Of Handicapped Children Are Chosen?
Somehow I Visualize God Hovering Over Earth Selecting His Instruments For Propagation With Great Care And Deliberation. As He Observes, He Instructs His Angels To Make Notes In A Giant Ledger.
"armstrong, Beth; Son;patron Saint, Mathew.
"forest, Marjorie;daughter;patron Saint,cecelia.
Rudledge, Carrie; Twins;patron Saint......give Her Gerald. He's Used To Profanity
Finally, He Passes A Name To An Angel And Smiles, "give Her A Handicapped Child."
The Angel Is Curious. "why This One, God? She's So Happy." " Exactly, " Smiles God. "could I Give A Handicapped Child A Mother Who Does Not Know Laughter? That Would Be Cruel."
"but Has She Patience/" Asks The Angel. "i Don't Want Her To Have To Much Patience Or She Will Drowned In A Sea Of Self-pity And Despair. Once The Shock And Resentment Wears Off, She'll Handle It." "i Watched Her Today. She Had That Feeling Of Self And Independence That Is So Rare And So Necessary In A Mother. You See, The Child I'm Going To Give Her Has His Own World. She Has To Make It Live In Her World And That's Not Going To Be Easy."
"but Lord, I Don't Think That She Even Believes In You." God Smiles. "no Matter. I Can Fix That. This One Is Perfect. She Has Just Enough Selfishness."
The Angel Gasps, "selfishness? Is That A Virtue?" God Nods. "if She Can't Separate Herself From The Child Occasionally, She'll Never Survive. Yes, There Is A Woman Whom I Will Bless With A Child, She Will See It As Few People Ever See My Creations."
"i Will Permit Her To See Clearly The Things I See-ignorance, Cruelty, Prejudice-and Allow Her To Rise Above Them. She Will Never Be Alone. I Will Be At Her Side Every Minute Of Every Day Of Her Life Because She Is Doing My Work As Surely As She Is Here By My Side."
"and What About Her Patron Saint ?" Asks The Angel, His Pen Poised In Midair. God Smiles. "a Mirror Will Suffice."
