The gift of life

Recently, a couple lost their 26 years old son to pneumonia. 
He had cerebral palsy with intellectual disability. 
In my few years in this church, I see the whole family together with their helper worship the Lord unfailingly every week. 
Their helper who has been with them for 21 years loves this man like her own son. 
The whole family loves their son just like how they love his brother who is able-bodied. 
Though they know that he is now with Jesus, they miss him. 
This man, is very precious to his family, even when society sees not.

I also know of a mum who painstakingly brings her son to church though to us as outsiders, we may question if the son knows what's happening. 
This mum comes for prayer meetings to draw on the strength of our Lord.
In all of these, we definitely don't know why some people are born with a more severe disability than others, why parents need to go through so much...
BUT I guarantee you, ask these parents if they consider aborting their kids as a solution to their problems, they will say no. 
Their devotion to their kids, their love for them cannot help but amazes each one of us, that tenacity in humans can be drawn out through circumstances that we cannot understand but choose to surrender to the One who knows it all.
Human strength is very small. 
Our God is unimaginably BIG.
The human mind cannot comprehend what God has in mind.
These parents have truly demonstrate what it is like to love the Lord with all our mind, heart, soul and strength.
Each child is precious. God does not say otherwise.
