Our second child is almost 18 years old... a 6'4" 200 lb. handsome young man with the mind of a 2-3 year old.  Yet what a lot of sermons he's preached to us!  Let me share a poem I wrote when he was five.  I hope it inspires you to take a new look at the special people in your life.                 More Family Links Aubrey's web page, click here

"Owed to Ben" A child of our love, a son born like the others; yet what an impact you've made on our lives. Your smile captures hearts, you radiate joy! You speak with your hugs, your kisses, your smiles. No language is needed.  You speak with your eyes! You've been appointed to an extraordinary task: To open our eyes to the world of the meek. To force us beyond intelligence or fame, There we see Jesus, though hidden to most -  clothed in flesh of the helpless and weak. Progress is slow when we measure by "norms", But progress blossoms when we finally realize We must speak the truth with quick, loving eyes. Speak with our hugs, our kisses, our smiles. No language will be needed, if we speak with our eyes!
