I am always amazed at how something that God is speaking to me about suddenly comes through in other places. With the thoughts of the Love Chapter series sitting on my mind this weekend, it happened again. Our good friend Rachel Wojnarowski was kind enough to invite us to a gathering of families with children that have been diagnosed with Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). As I watched the parents care for their children, the following words came to my mind:
Patient
Kind
Does not envy
In continuing the series on the Love Chapter from 1 Corinthians 13, I have the vision in my mind of parents with real love in their eyes for their children. Each one patient. Each one kind. Each one without envy. We witnessed families dedicated to pouring into their children. We witnessed sons and daughters of the King being treated like Princes and Princesses by their Moms and Dads. It was a wonderful time. It was beautiful chaos.
It was love.

Aaron,
I was one of the family members at the Ohio MPS Picnic. My nephew Andrew has MPS. Thank you for your kind words. Most people see the MPS kids and do not understand. Thank you for really getting what it is to be an MPS parent/family member and realizing that our children are the best in the world and do need to be treated like little Princess’ and Princes. They mean the world to us and bring happiness every day.
Barbara – Thank you for allowing us to share in your day and for leaving a comment. My family and I really enjoyed getting to meet you all. It was our joy.
