perspective!

What do you see?

Do you see the young lady or the old lady?

It is amazing to to me what image people see first!

I presented this picture with my youth group one  time

 and it was eye opening, to see who saw what image!

I had some youth that could not see the old lady,

I had some that could not see the young lady.

That was until I told a red pen and out line the young lady first.

I outlined the old lady in blue.

So I ask you one more time what image to you see.  

At first glance I see a young lady.  

I can also see the old lady.

 This lesson was brought home to my mind and soul today.

It amazes me what some people see.

I am also sure that is what people say when they speak of me.

I can see the child suffering with the affects of a stroke as a teacher of independence

I can look at a child with a severe physical disability and see love.

I can look at a child who is controlled by the impulsive manner and see humility. 

When people only see sadness, despair, pity or hopelessness 

when they look at my children that are disabled, 

 I will warn you to LISTEN and LOOK  to

 the children whispering  lessons of love, beauty, hope, kindness, compassion and laughter. 

I choose to see only those things!

I believe in the statement that one man's junk can be another man's treasure!

I also believe that Love is in the eye of the beholder.  

These statements are talking about some ones perspective.

I would want for every one to have a perspective change 

IF

all they see is the negative or the darkness in everything!

I understand people wanting us to be informed about our soon

to be son.  

However, when some one  says severely delayed 

I see a few extra lessons taught at his level.

Each and every time I look at our boy.

I see a cute little boy who needs love and structure.

I see a little cutie who is wanting to learn and practice what he is taught!

I see my son that is up for any challenge.

He is not willing to give up and neither am I.

 Every time I look at these innocent blessings that I do not deserve,

 I will be sure to teach, love, care for and hopefully better them;

because  what I choose to see the true image!

My baby boy please listen to that voice whispering love and peace to you right now!

We love you and I can not wait to hold you my sweet pea!

 I do know that we all loved to be held.

 I love the way He helps me to keep my perspective!
