Sunday Reflection: The Youngest Brother
This week I saw something wonderful.
There was a plaza in the city full of families. In the middle were three kids-- an older
girl, a boy who looked to be a little younger, and the smallest. The little boy was in a wheelchair.
As I watched, they arranged themselves in a set
pattern. The two older kids were about
50 feet apart. The kid in the wheelchair
came over to the sister. She grabbed the
handles of his chair and shoved him off fast and true across the plaza to the
other kid, who caught him, turned around, and sent him back. The kid in the wheelchair was going amazingly
fast, and loved it. Soon other kids came
over; they wanted to take a trip like that.
What great siblings!
They made their brother into the guy the other kids wanted to be.
I suppose that is what we should all be doing.
