I took my son with me to run some errands today. One of our stops was to the hospital to visit a lady who is recovering from a procedure. There is no way of knowing how my youngest will respond on those stops. He is ten years old. He is also autistic. We had a great time together. After our elevator ride we dropped in to see how our "patient" is doing. Having a conversation is always different since my attention is divided between the person and my son. He cooperated in talking and being a great kid. Then we stopped to pray. I told him to close his eyes then bow his head since he knows what to do during a prayer. Needless to say it was a short prayer but afterward I heard him say an "amen." He just smiled and waved as we left to catch the elevator again. It is amazing how people often think they cannot contribute to God's work. Were I a betting man, I'd wager his visit may mean more than mine. Just a smile with a wave brightened up the room. Once again, there was a "God moment" while I walked in wonder at what he teaches me still. Ours do not have to be perfect gifts from a spotless life. All we really need to do is to be who God is making us while giving that gift to another.
