The dust is finally beginning to settle after hosting Justin’s 10th birthday party. This afternoon, we had all of the boys in his class over after school for swimming and a movie.
Unfortunately, our swim party happened to fall on what was probably the coldest day of the year—rainy, windy—I don’t think the temperature even broke 70º! (My sister in Minnesota is probably calling me a wimp right now.) Even all of the boys, who usually don’t care how cold it is, only lasted about 15 minutes outside.
One of the highlights of the party was getting to know Justin’s friend, Nikki. Nikki was born blind. Becca spent a large part of the party talking with him and when he left she commented on how much she learned from him because he is so happy and grateful.
He doesn’t let his circumstances affect his attitude; his focus isn’t on the challenges he faces, but instead looks to the possibilities.
As he was leaving, Becca said, “Let’s go hang out sometime.” Nikki turned to his dad and said, “Is this my first date with a girl?”
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine . . . (Ephesians 3:20)
