Just had to Share
|
I recently got this email from someone that is acquainted with a family who has a son with Angelman Syndrome.It is so true that God does use messengers.I have always said that God had big plans for Brady,reading this email it really made me look at the big picture and reminded me of what Gods plan is for our little Angel.He is an Angel sent here from heaven,making certain that were doin our best,to take time to love one another.Enjoy.
"Angel" is a word we use to describe certain powerful spiritual beings, but the Greek word it comes from ('angellos') simply means 'messenger'. There are certain people whose very presence carries a message from God, and we have one of them at Grace Community Church. Jeremiah Salter ('Miah') has a condition called 'angelman syndrome' which is very limiting and leaves him in need of a lot of care. It is the way he worships, and the love shown between him and his parents, Karen and Chris, his sister Alicia, and even his faithful companion dog, Ward, that carry a message worth learning, yet difficult to put into words. It was at a midweek time of worship, during one of those quiet moments that happen even in a noisy church like ours, that Miah shouted out suddenly, and I received a definite impression of God's open enjoyment, one I wanted to share, but not right then. This poem, then, is an attempt to convey that word, along with my own love and appreciation for this child of God.

MIAH ---->There's an angel man comes to Grace:Brings a smile to the good Lord's face.Eleven years old and getting tall,A little lad once, but no longer small,With Dad, Mom, and Sis, taking his place,Yes, bringing a smile to the good Lord's face, Miah's his name, a disabled boy,But in God's presence, oh what a joy!Jumping and shouting while we all sing,Miah's rejoicing before the great King.Look at his face, the wonderful grin,The radiant welcome as Jesus comes in.One night at prayer, in the quiet a shout,Many's the Christian that would send him out,But I heard the Lord quietly say,"Miah's My boy; he is okay." There's an angel man comes to Grace:Brings a smile to the good Lord's face.Angelman's, yes, that's his condition,But angel man here, that is his mission." |
