While playing cards with the family the other night I sat there and stared at Haylee. I thought to myself man she handles everything God has dealt her with such amazing pride, awesomeness, and I am just in total awwww of her. God dealt Haylee a hand that includes no fingers on the left hand. But Haylee never see’s it as she was dealt an unfair. She never thinks she was short changed. She smiles and loves the hand she was dealt with.
How is it that a 7 year old can totally handle the cards she was dealt by God but as an adult there are days that I feel like I can not even handle the project I was handed much less anything else? Children and adults handle things different. But you also have to realize that our children handle things they way they do because of how we raise and teach them. To teach them that God will give us what He knows we can handle. And no matter how bad it may seem God will never give us more then we can handle. God gives us certain things because that is part of his big plan for us.
How do you and your kids handle the cards that God has dealt you?

Hi, I tried emailing you, but it keeps coming back saying no known user. I hope its ok to post this here!
Good Afternoon,
My name is Tabitha and I can only say it was divine guidance that led me to your site. I’ve enclosed a picture of myself, because I am still in shock and had no idea
there was a site out there for children who were born like me. When I was born my right arm was not there at all. My left hand is little with two infused (stuck together) fingers
and a baby thumb (as I call it). At 9 months old my right leg had to be amputated. NONE of this has ever stopped me from living life to the fullest.
I am a mother to a beautiful and healthy 13 year old daughter and married to a wonderful guy (for 12 years). Together we run A FiveOh4 Uplifting. A mission ran by my family and I for the sole purpose of “Spreading Smiles Worldwide” to all children and adults in need of an uplifting.
Through God Our Family Lovingly Create Goody Bags And “Uplifting Mail” For:
1. Patients (Children) in Hospitals that are dedicated to healing and nurturing Children with ALL Major Illnesses and ALL Disabilities
2. Children and Women living in the homeless shelters we’ve teamed up with
3. Make A Child Smile’s Monthly Featured Kids
4. Any child in need of an uplifting
I was reading through your site and came upon your volunteer section. I am NOT a mom with a disabled child, but I am indeed a woman living
with this disability that many children have. I would love to help in any way that I can.
Goody bags are my specialty, but I am indeed a great listener and encourager. In whatever way you can use me please feel free to do so.
Blessings From The Heart,
Tabitha and Family
