Today, at one of our services, I sat by a mentally challenged man and this is how he spoke to me:
1. God created him in his mommy's womb. God has a purpose for his life on Earth. God loves him like crazy!
2. During one part in the worship, he looked around & saw people's hands raised. So he raised his hands. His caretaker gave him a stern look & his hands went down. But then, he put them back up again. She relented. I smiled.
3. At one point, he fidgeted with the offering envelopes, looking in each one to see if there was something in them. I loved his curiosity & that he had the freedom to express it in God's House.
4. I don't know how much of the teaching he truly understood. But I know he was experiencing something & that God met him where he was.
I was blessed to sit beside this great guy. Don't know if I'll ever see him again, but I hope I do.

Hi Heather,
I really like this post. I have such a special place in my heart for people who see the world through such innocent eyes. In a way, I envy them...
Thanks for your beautiful description of this child of God.
