Somewhat of a sad day for me, some poeple I know and concider good friends are moving away due to work and I also heard that my cousins new baby boy, Lloyd was born with Downes Syndrome. Im not sure how to react to that news, I am by no means close to my cousin but I understand the mixed emotions one might have in such a situation, I can pray for strength, patience, wisdom and understanding for her family and freinds and educate myself a little more about downes syndrome too. Its easy when an event like this happens to ask God why, but I believe God creates, offer some guidance in life but give man free will and I am by no means qualified to assume to kno why, we have to let things unfold, make decisions that include God’s will the best we can and to try to know Gods will we study The Word as written in the Bible and pray about it and give thank for what we do have.
My first reaction when I heard the news was, my poor cousin an that poor baby but it is the wrong reaction, Lloyd is a new life and will touch others lives in ways and means that I cannot comprehend, he will touch my cousins life will great joy, he will bring joy to people who know him all his life and his birth should give me cause to celebrate.
As I wrote this it was as if God put upon me the realisation to be joyful, thank you God.
