Mothers Of Children With Disabilities

I was just sitting here minding my own business while taking a break from blowing insulation into the attic, and decided to browse a few blogs. I came across this, on a blog of a UT mom with a son with DS. I guess I needed to cry today still.

Blessings promised to mothers of children with disabilities.
I speak a word to mothers who have little children who are handicapped, children whose little bodies were born incompletely formed or whose little minds are limited. No one knows the depth of agony that you have suffered. By way of consolation, I read from scripture: Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation. For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory;the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand. Blessings will be extended to mothers such as you who have given tender and affectionate love to handicapped children. Trials such as these bring a reverence for life, a new depth of compassion and motherhood. I hope this brings anyone peace who is in need of it today and everyday. I also feel, personally, that in the next life blessings, we can't even imagine, will be given to our little children who have had to suffer here on this earth. I have truly learned a reverence for life with the birth of Sam.
