My Name Is Special

By Jean R. Watson

In todays society, there are many children with disabilities and illnesses. Sometimes society has a tendency to overlook the hidden talent in these individuals. They are special in a positive way, because they are the children of God. The most amazing thing about individuals with any form of disability is that they are stronger in other areas. For instance, a man without physical sight may have the capability to play a musical instrument, yet some people with sight cannot play at all. Ask yourself, How does this happen? I believe that within each person lies a light of hope, spirituality, and determination. If you are confident, regardless of your circumstance, you can accomplish anything. After all, God is only concerned about your heart, not your physical appearance. In addition, he loves all of his children. Be confident in who you are, and know that you are a wonderful individual in spite of physical or mental limitations.
