Inspiration by Example

This montage was passed on to me by Debbie, Ms. Hodgepodge herself. The story came from one of her avid readers. Sorry, but we couldn't find this boys name. Thank you for sharing this Deb.

This is not Tiny Tim, a fictitious boy with a handicap. This is a real live boy who has - and will always have - physical disabilities. Funny, but it doesn't seem to stop him at all. Each of us face obstacles; that's life. A truth that we must be reminded of seems to be one that this boy has a firm grasp of:

"Your attitude towards life defines not only who you are, but the quality of life you have." Christ came so that we might have abundant life. Full, enriching, spilling over. By Gods grace, may our attitude reflect, with gratitude, the abundant love and life God has freely given us!

p.s. Thanks to Geranium Farmer Susan for this: she found out more information on this boy. His name is Cody McCasland and he and his family live in Texas. Funny that - this article is from a newspaper in the UK!
