Today in class Leslie shared about children with special needs. My mind instantly went back to the Mother Theresa home we worked with during my DTS outreach. While there, I was filled with such an overwhelming love for the children there with disabilities. I saw so much beauty in them. Leslie challenged us to ask hard questions; Questions that don't have answers. Why? I kept having to remind myself that God is good, and He is loving all the time. He makes no mistakes, and does everything for a reason. Even if God doesn't always bring physical healing to people they are still able to bring glory to His name. Within each of these children is a hidden treasure, maybe you can't see it at first, but as you get you know them, and fall in love with them God reveals that beautiful treasure. These children are God's delight; He uses them to teach us things that we can't learn in other ways.
Leslie spoke to us about her own personal experience while working with children who have special needs. Then at the end of the class she had us split into pairs and teach the rest of the class about a specific disability. Even though we only had one class about children with special with special needs, I feel like so much was revealed.
