It tells something interesting about what happened after I left that day.<BR/><BR/>Jason did not, but then again he did, receive that medal... please read the following email: <BR/><BR/>Will,<BR/><BR/>I was deeply touched by your story on Jason. I know too that the Lord will take him soon and will miss him terribly. I thought I would let you know what I had to do. I needed the perfect coach for Jason and the Lord answered my prayer. You have given Jason the best gift of all--your love.<BR/><BR/>...........................<BR/><BR/>Since Jason needed to leave before the awards were handed out, Wayne said that we would give Jason the 4th place ribbon he earned at the State competition.<BR/><BR/>When Molly passed away her mother gave me her most prized possession—her box of Special Olympics medals. With honor and humbleness, I accepted this precious gift.<BR/><BR/>I looked at the white ribbon with 4th place printed on it and looked at the box of medals. It was as if Molly herself was there telling me what I should do. I placed the white ribbon in the box and picked up a silver medal. I could almost see Molly’s smile. Jason needed some joy in his life right now. Will did say that he would receive a medal. Maybe this is the rest of the story.<BR/><BR/>I delivered the medal to the caregiver to give to Jason knowing that it would bring two smiles, Molly’s and his.<BR/><BR/>This Thanksgiving, I am so thankful for all my blessings which are many especially these individuals that show me the real joys of life. I am grateful that He brought Jason and Will together at a time in their lives were they needed each other. It was indeed a perfect match.<BR/><BR/>DxxxxCurious Servanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564580536911743558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276556180182068972.post-10904262135973027442008-11-25T22:29:00.000-08:002008-11-25T22:29:00.000-08:00"Learning to endure times of disappointment, suffe..."Learning to endure times of disappointment, suffering, and sorrow is part of our on-the-job training.

And the reward is that everything is yours. Everything that was taken is returned. Everything that was lost is found. As our shell is shed, so are pride, fear, doubt...<BR/>And so is time. Everything, every place becomes now. And when time no longer exists, making "now" eternal, everything will be yours.Judas Hatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04365103842960526841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276556180182068972.post-55547402308085473902008-11-23T22:39:00.000-08:002008-11-23T22:39:00.000-08:00Beautiful!That is why we cherish every moment that...Beautiful!<BR/>That is why we cherish every moment that we are given with people in our lives.<BR/>This school year is passing so quickly and soon my daughters, like Isaac, will be moving into adulthood.
