My son can sometimes stand out in a crowd. When we are in a public place with typical children, they notice his differences, especially when he runs. If you've ever seen the episode of "Friends" where the character Pheobe invites another friend to run with her in the park and have seen how Pheobe runs so freely, you will get a better picture of how my son generally runs. If not, lets just say it's an interresting sight to behold with arms moving as fast as his little legs can carry him. There are times when other children can say hurtful things.
The bible tells us that Esther stands out in a crowd of pretty girls forced into the King's palace for the sole purpose of being chosen Queen of Persia. She wins the favor of King Xerxes' closest servant. Esther 2:9. She had Godly wisdom that emphasized her people skills.
Sometimes we can find ourselves in situations that we don't want to be in. How are we going to use our Godly widsom to make the best of a bad situation?

Oh you are truly driving the nail home for me today. As I mentioned in my previous comment, the past few weeks have been a real challenge for me. Many days I am so overwhelmed, I just feel like "giving up" and admitting defeat. This reminds me of a comment my pastor made a while ago in a sermon. It went something like : "life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." I'm finding that when I choose to react to the chaotic situations in my house in a Christ like way, things dont seem nearly as overwhelming. Keep the posts coming!
