Does your child have limb defects? Many will say this will be a great burden on all concerned. God doesn’t think that way. Here is some encouragement for you.

http://chetmcdoniel.com/ Chet McDoniel was born in 1980 with no arms and very short, rudimentary, legs. At the time of birth, a doctor advised his parents that it might be better if he did not live. Chet’s dad, a pastor, and his mom would hear none of that, and brought him up as a gift from God. Chet is now married and he and his wife Joni have a daughter, Hannah. Chet is an inspiring object lesson that God our Creator has plans for every one of us, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Read his very encouraging story. http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/ Nick Vujicie was born in 1982 with no arms and no legs. Life was a struggle, even to the point of considering suicide at about age 10. His parents encouraged him to use what he had. When he was 13, he read an article about a disabled man achieving things and living life to the fullest. This began to turn his thinking. Nick discovered the story in the Gospel of John, Chapter 9, about the man born blind, and Nick’s own eyes began to be opened. Jesus said, “ …..this happened that the work of God might be displayed in his life.” This truth became Nick’s focus and purpose. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=407749311983 Elissa Robinson was born in 1993.
