Born to be different!
Emily
A girl of 5 who suffers from Spineadifa. She had surgery on her spine at only the age of 2 hours. Because of the surgery she has a bladder problem and has to have surgery every 6 months.
Shelbie
A girl of 5 who was born with a rare chromozone, and with a hole in her heart. She is physically disabled and cannot stand or do most things a normal 5 year can do.
William
A boy of 5 who was born with a brain problem. He has ADHD and can be very hyperactive and tends to break or destroy things, sometimes would harm himself. He requires a wheelcahir alot of the time.
Nathan
A boy of 5 born with down syndrome, has a tounge defect and finds it hard to speak.
Zoe
A girl of 5, born with Arthrogrythosis, has problems with her limbs, she has trouble walking and holding things. She has had surgery, physio and has had to wear casts all her life. Currently she will need to use a wheelchair.
Hamish
A boy of 5, was born with Airconclesia (Dwarfism). Doctors say he will grow to a height of 4' but he can get surgery to increase his height about another 11" but it will be very painful.
All these children are born with disabilities, something that makes them different from other kids. While watching all the children and jotting down all thier disabilities I seen all the smiles and laughter that went on in their lives. These kids are 5 years old and don't know they are different, they are living their lives the way they always have and don't know what it's like to have a normal life like other children. While running all these thoughts through my head I instantly thought of Jesus' life. He was born to be different. Jesus was pointed out as being different and frowned upon just like these children just because people didn't believe he was the son of God. Jesus lived a life just like us but his life was perfect, and because of this he was slain on the cross.
I just want to say to anyone out there (including me) that if they feel they are having it bad just think of these kids who daily find life a struggle, and just remember what Jesus went through on the cross just for us, us sinners who find it easy to point out, judge and frown upon others.
God touched me while watching that programme and he made me realise how blessed I really am.

Hey justy!!
I watched that program too, I cried so much. And I find it really horrible to say but what if i have a kid with a disability?And I think that it's really low of me to even think about it but i really don't think I could cope!And that makes me really ashamed to think it would be a problem to a kid with a disability!!Im really praying for this.I was touched by this program too and it has really made me think.xXx

Here is a wee quote from Joni Eareckson Tada...
"People with disabilities are God's best visual aids to demonstrate who He really is. His power shows up best in weakness. And who by the world's standards is weaker than the mentally or physically disabled? As the world watches, these people persevere. They live, love, trust and obey Him. Eventually the world is forced to say, 'How great their God must be to inspire this kind of loyalty' "
This lady was paralysed from the age of about 19! How amazing that she can see God's hand at work even in the things that seem to us like He couldn't possibly be at work. If you want to borrow her book I can get it for you - its amazin!
