Coach Gene Stallings lead Alabama to a National Championship in football. He has a wonderful family of four girls, and one wonderful boy. That boy was born with Downs Syndrome and will never lead what we call a “normal” life.

    But I asked the family in an interview if there were any specific turning point in their family. They all replied, “Oh yes! When Johnny was born!” Johnny was the catalyst for a wonderful spiritual renewal in that family.

    Tragedy, if nothing else, opens our eyes to how frail we really are. But the good news is, those who survive and become victors are those who look at the other side of tragedy and draw power and joy through and from their sorrow, to those who trust in Him.

    So let’s make the rest of the day work a little better by remembering that the “unusual” and “abnormal” may be the way God brings His wealth to you.
