My sweet son with the fire of saints and apostles in his soul, spread his sweet hands, weak and soft,unable to do what a typical 7 year old can do because Down-Syndrome-changes-so-many-things, that boy spread palms across my belly and pronounced the holiest of gibberish I have ever heard in my life.
God was there, power and love, and Holy Spirit descended with those short little mutterings of complete and utter faith. Utterances of truth clearer than any well-spoken graduate of a doctoral program could muster with academic pontifications, I’m sure of it.
Oh friends, that caught my breath and I acknowledge where my shortness and annoyance has gotten me lately. He moved my soul. I decided that YES needed more attention this week. This year. This lifetime.
I love this! And needed to hear it!
