Today I looked into my grandson Jayden’s eyes, they were smiling. I loved that moment. You see Jayden can’t talk. Unfortunately, Sanfilippo has taken that away. So I look for moments to peer into his soul. I grasp the moments, and with everything I have, I try and capture that smile in my memory. I would love to bottle it up for later. There’s something about a little boy who is full of life and activity, yet can’t communicate with words. But Jayden has learned to communicate with his eyes. At least that’s how I see it. He has a gift that he gives to people who know him. He lights up a room when he smiles. His beautiful smile has a shine to it. He shines his way into our hearts every day. I know that is directly from the Lord. In fact, God often uses Jayden to teach me. He allows me to see Himself through the eyes and charm of a little boy named Jayden. Trying to understand Sanfilippo is like trying to understand the mind of God. I know that it’s not possible. But instead I want to thank the one who gives life. The life that God gives is sometimes not the one that we thought we’d have. But sometimes it’s better.
John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
Abundant life.....it does look different, it's beyond measure! It's beyond our understanding!
