Who are the people you admire and respect?
Those on the cover of People Magazine?
Those who obtain financial success?
Those who boast of their wonderful deeds and service as they
ladle soup into bowls?
We live in a culture which has a star mentality.
Nobody really wants to hear the stories of everyday heroes.
Few can tolerate the reality that many families face.
A reality that knows great suffering
Yet knows greater love
How about those parents who tend to their precious little ones
receiving chemotherapy?
How about the parents who labor in love with their child who
cannot talk, walk or feed themselves?
How about the parents who advocate over and over and over for the child who has no voice.
How about the parents who adopt and rescue children from
poverty, sickness and despair?
How about the parents who must hand their child back to the
Creator after serious illness?
Parents who struggle
Parents who weep
Because they love
And understand the call before them
Heroes who give beyond their own brokenness
Who walk in grace
Infused with Divine strength
Few will have their story told or make the cover of any
magazine.
They will never receive a medal for their service
Heroes just the same
