Day 7: God Can Use Our Abilities and Disabilities

     Today we talked about when Jesus healed a little boy that was deaf.  The little boy was overjoyed to be able to hear.  I asked the children if Jesus heals everyone that is deaf and they said yes.  We had a great discussion about how sometimes God heals people and sometimes God has another plan and doesn't heal the disability.  God can use our abilities and disabilities in powerful ways.  We talked about a variety of people and the tremendous ministries they have and often times, because their disability is a platform from which they can share.
     Some of the kids brought in money they had earned for the wheelchair today.  They love watching the flight of butterflies grow down the hallway as they put one up for every dollar earned.  They have all been working on their crafts and goodies for the sale on Thursday and Friday.  Their enthusiasm and joy in raising funds has been a blessing to watch.
