Eden: A Hero for Her Older Sisters

Posted by tom | Nov 17, 2010

It's speech time for 5th graders.  Who did the twins pick for the topic of "hero"? 

Their younger sister Eden.

Below is the piece which came home, the other was finished at school and I'll have to wait to read/share. 

Five years ago, I became a big sister to Eden.  Eden was not born like everyone else.  She was disabled and needed careful surgery.  She fought to live but has her right side of her body not working fully.  Right now she does things that kids her age did when they were three years old.  She needs extra attention and special care.  She still is a person and even though people ask me questions, she is still my little sister and now is attending the Kindergarten Center.  Eden is now five years old and very tall.

Note:  Eden just burst into the house with a headdress made at a school Harvest Party.  She's full of joy and ready for lunch.  Later today she will receive a medal from their sisters.  To God be the glory!

    That's awesome! You have raised your girls so well that they are full of compassion and understanding! You should be proud!

    Thank-you Amy. Yes, we have sought to do such.

    But please forgive me as I must comment that Theresa and I have been impressed more and more each day that for all our intentional following of Jesus the Christ as part of His people/Body, submission to His way of life, teaching from the Word, prayer, and investment in our children's lives, God alone changes the heart (even our own as we become shaped more and more into the image of who we were created to be as individuals, a couple, and family) as it is given to the Father in submission to His Word/Way/Spirit through the Son. We do not have the strength, power, insight, or even (in then end) the desire to do such.

    Thank-you for being part of the team which intercedes for our family/ministry and likewise do such for yours. May God richly bless your house today, tomorrow, through eternity. ...

    Please forgive me for the ramble.
