As the others danced their way to the altar this thanksgiving service, the maid guided this mentally-retarded under-5, trying to keep pace with other children. His mother was just metres away and her other obvious possessions did not appear to matter more to her this day as she took her turn in the midst of those who needed that extra miracle but knew the value of still praising God for the good things she had.

?For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.? ? Job 14:7 (KJV)

He is very much aware of that lingering source of pain
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
