A child's wonder or delight far surpasses any of the things most adults think are important.SkyePuppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571489259897997518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-1168821912836358062007-01-14T16:45:00.000-08:002007-01-14T16:45:00.000-08:00A woman in my church has a son with Down Syndrome....A woman in my church has a son with Down Syndrome. He died last year due to heart problems. But he was so extremely loving and this love set the tone for their family dynamics. They weren't in search of high accomplishments, but in appreciating the good experiences they had together. I find myself envious of them. What shallow thinkers we are when we search only for perfection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-1168354127442389052007-01-09T06:48:00.000-08:002007-01-09T06:48:00.000-08:00This kind of story is so difficult to read. It's ...This kind of story is so difficult to read. It's sad beyond words that there are people so willing to have the "perfect" baby that they willingly destroy countless other perfectly wonderful human lives. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if it ever occurs to these people that some of the most highly regarded thinkers and inventers and the like where born of parents with far less than ideal educational backgrounds. I wonder if they will be satisfied with their children if they look perfect, yet a few years down the line are found to have a learning disability, despite their "best-laid plans". Will physical "perfection" be enough for these people? <BR/><BR/>I've been reading in Genesis about Abraham and God's promise that he and Sarah would have an heir...and how they believed God, but tried to "help" Him out. The result was Ishmael, who did become an heir of Abraham and through whom God did make a nation. The problem is that this was not God's plan for Abraham and Sarah. He was still faithful, but their actions combined with their "I-know-better-than-God-how-to-accomplish-His-plan" attitude resulted in the formation of an Arab nation that has, since its beginnings, been enemies of the Jewish nation (Abraham's heir). <BR/><BR/>I wish more people realized that their actions today have far-reaching consequences, sometimes unintended consequences and possibly very deadly consequences. <BR/><BR/>There's so much more that needs to be said, so much more on my mind about this and so many ways that this hits home for me, but I'll stop there. I just wish people could see beyond themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
