People Can Be Mean

Asher doing the hand motions at the Christmas Musical - a true triumph!

No one knew the struggle for him to hold up his little hand for all to see...but Mom & Dad did.

I wrote the following for Asher after a day of hurtful comments from classmates.

A mother gazes upon her son and sees his imperfection:
“Today I choose to give my love - forget the world’s perception.
For I know who created you and all that He has planned…
To love and cherish His precious son, despite the world’s demand.

You see, the world cannot see you perfect, as you are in God’s eyes
Because they have forgotten the very one who gave them life.
As you grow you will know His love and His comforting care,
Because your mother leans on Him and He demands she share -

All that He has promised you - each and every day
A life full of abundance and joy along the way.
And yes, there will be trials, and words that sometimes hurt –
Questions that do not have answers…answers that seem curt.

But He will be beside us and sometimes carry us along the path
And you, my son, will show this world that He has held you steadfast.”
