God's own

This week I went for the inauguration of a gym in a school for the mentally challenged, the initiative of a friend. He has taken his volunteering activities to his heart. He even teaches the challenged children to swim and it was emotional to hear some of the parents talk about the difference in the children because of this. The children put up a show for the visitors and as they performed I could feel the prick of tears.

While the parents of these children clapped and cheered them on, I could only silently shed my tears on the inside. I think we all need to be reminded, every now and then, just how blessed we are. I came away humbled by their strength.
