Samuel's Ministry on Earth
Samuel before his cognitive decline When Samuel was born, I had grand visions and ambitions of all the things I wanted to teach him. He was going to be a world-famous pianist, an NBA basketball player, a multi-billion-dollar entrepreneur, and the most articulate scholar. Any progress he made in life filled me with such pride as I watched him get better and better at everything he did. This last Sunday, our special angel friends in the library at our Church building brought some wooden puzzles for Samuel to play with. These were puzzles designed for toddlers, where you pick up the firetruck and put it in the spot where a firetruck fits. As always, our friends’ faces lit up as they watched Samuel struggle to complete this puzzle. Each time Samuel found the right spot for a piece, his mouth would open wide in delight and he would jump and flap his hands. Our friends were so patient as Samuel would have seizure after seizure while trying to accomplish this task.
