Tomorrow is my last day at the special needs camp I was helping out with this summer. Getting to know these incredible children and seeing what brings them joy was my highlight to this experience. One of the children didn't talk but was so cooperative. He loved puzzles and was so good at them. Today, he laughed as I was chasing him in the gym with the ball-precious. There were other children that were nonverbal and yet God's love lit up in one of their smiles when they were happy. One child had the gift of mercy and she tried her best to comfort others that were sad or distressed. These children live in the present. They know they need help sometimes. They have special gifts and abilities given by God. It was an honor to be his hands and feet at this camp. These amazing children taught me so much more than I taught them.
Do you know any children with special needs?
What do they teach you?

Hi Leanne, It was good to hear about your time with the kids at camp:) I'm sure glad you had this opportunity to play and work and help with them.
We saw many of those we met at Daybreak with special gifts that enriched our lives.
God bless you always Leanne. I love you, Mom Stolpe
Great post Leanne! There is something so sweet about children that need special care but also have unique ways of showing love and joy.
