Monday Moment for Down syndrome - Blessings in Disguise

Over the last almost 4 years I have collected MANY poems and stories about Down syndrome and special needs in general. Since a lot of my readers have kids with special needs, I thought I would post one poem or story every Monday. Chances are you'll find one you've never heard along the way!

Blessings in Disguise
By Thomas Kempis

God sends his little angels
In many forms and guises,
They come as lovely miracles
That God alone devises.

For every little angel
With a body bent and broken,
Or a little mind disabled
Or little words unspoken,

Is just God's way of trying
To reach and touch the hand
Of all who do not know Him
And cannot understand

That often through an angel
Whose wings will never fly
The Lord is pointing out the way
To His eternal sky

Where there will be no handicaps
Of body, soul or mind,
And where all limitations
Will be dropped and left behind.

So accept these little angels
As gifts from God above,
And thank Him for this lesson
In faith and hope and love.
