带着抑制不住的泪水和同样抑制不住的微笑,看完了这个视频。那是和看99个气球时,同样的,因着主白白赐下的恩典而满溢出的感恩的泪水。
此时此刻,心中所想只有一句:我们一切的好处,从来不在神以外。

A Remarkable Story of God’s Grace
It says in James 1:2, “Consider it pure joy, my Brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds.”
It seemed like a tall order to “count” hurt, pain and struggle as nothing but “pure joy” when my birth date arrived. My parents were Christians; my Dad was even a Pastor of our church, so that verse was quite familiar to them. However, on the morning of December 4th , 1982, in Melbourne, Australia, the last two words on the minds of my parents was “Praise God!”. Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. Having no answers at all, the doctors were completely shocked and taken off guard!
The whole church mourned over my birth and my parents were absolutely devastated. “If God is a God of love, ” they questioned, “Then why would He let something like this happen, and especially to committed Christians?” My Dad did not think I would survive for very long. But, tests proved that I was a healthy baby boy with just one hitch, I’d been born without any limbs.
Eliot was born with an undeveloped lung, a heart with a hole in it and DNA that placed faulty information into each and every cell of his body. However, that could not stop the living God from proclaiming Himself through this boy who never uttered a word.
In the midst of heartbreaking tragedy, the Mooney family found the presence of God strengthening, comforting, and guiding them. Their story reminds us to seek God and endure our struggles rather than blame Him for our hardships.

Dear Eliot,
right now you are 2 months from being born.
We just found out that you have Trisomy 18, also called Edwards Syndrome.
Doctors tell us that you won’t likely make it to birth.
Your mom and I are praying against that. We’re praying for healing.
We are praying for nothing less than a miracle.
You’re our first child, and the day of your birth couldn’t come sooner.
