The word special is a wonderful word. It communicates something set aside for a focused purpose. It elevates someone so we are made aware of their qualities. Such should be our view of children with special needs. We can focus on what they contribute to our life.
We often, and rightfully so, marvel when someone adopts a child with special needs. My guest on this episode went far beyond that as she and her husband adopted three children with very special needs. They have given these children hope for life when they likely might not have had any.
I invite you to listen to the joy in her voice as she describes her children. Listen to the love and comfort she experiences as she realized how they fulfil what James describes as true religion in James 1:27,
“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”
I invite you to listen to Valarie’s story. I invite you to look to see what you’ve been graced with and how you can use it to bring hope to your life and to the life of others.
Valarie also speaks to two special agencies. The links are below:
