SPECIALly Inspired!

It’s been a long while around here…I hope I can make a great come back, I have so much to share.

Today I will be about “inspiration”. I just watched this video that made me cry a lot, yeah! I am quite emotional. It is about a blessed child, who came into this world to pay for his mother’s mistake. Oh! That’s the annoyed me talking…let’s just say God wanted that to happen so it could inspire a lot of us.

Most times, we feel like we have the biggest problems in the world….this makes us stay complaining instead of being thankful.

I want to use this opportunity to thank all Parents, especially those of children with special needs who have not given up on their children. Indeed it breaks my heart when I see children born to suffer and battle with deformities, infirmities and diseases.

I once worked in a Paediatric ward…each time I stepped in there, I just had to pull myself together so I would not cry…infact I never stepped into the section of the Paediatric ward that housed children with special needs because I would break down, but I used to peep from afar and see the coloured words, painted objects and inspirational messages on their walls.

I have been around a child with special need. Unfortunately in this part of the world, if a child starts to behave in an unusual way, we tag it to “witches and spiritual stuff” before even seeking medical advice. These things happen atimes, but thank God for medical sciences. I have watched him being treated badly infront of and by his teachers, school mates and even some friends. I have had my heart broken over and over that the world (except a few people) won't take the time to see the beautiful heart he has, and just keep judging him. I just feel this sense of peace every time he does something unique that inspires me. I always force myself to believe he is fine, I thank God for friends and family who convince me that he is fine…the best part? He has God, knows Him, believes in Him…he has the inner strength, perseverance and courage I don't have and that just makes me feel so happy.

There is a poem I like so much because it gives me an understanding that every situation is God's making and it's for a reason. The poem was written by my favourite author Erma Bombeck for special mothers, you can read it HERE.

For those of us, who have never really understood the pains, tears, joys and struggles of Parents of Children with special needs, you can always reach out to them, encourage them and pray for them, it is not an easy road to tread.

I recommend two movies (true life stories) that will inspire you…Like Stars on Earth and Letters to God. These two movies have changed my life.

Before I forget what made me write this, here is the video that made me cry today, you might want to watch. 

Do have a blessed weekend.
