concerning wrongway riders on our roads made good sense ive long thought the same i see no comparison between a bicycle and a car or between a bicycle and a motorcy cle for that matter so why should

adults 4 and children under 11 1 by jim reese 400 am congra tulations its a boy 1100 am jim weve discovered several physical prob lems which point as well to mental retarda tion from exhilaration to despair in one morning with the doctors words still ringing in my ears i drove back home stunned and dryeyed but alone in my bedroom the tears began to flow and my heart felt like it was ab- joutto break i my mind raced back v mychildhood- i could see my mother as she tearfully but tenderly revealed to my brother and me as we knelt for bedtime prayer that our little brother would never be normal a nasty fall had caused brain damage then a brother now a son o lord what are you trying to say to me i wep- tand i listened and he spoke first he said it is better to have a son who is phy sically and mentally handicapped but headed for heaven than to have a son who is handsome and bril liant but rebelling against god so i said thank you lord well have our problems but it wont be problems like that next the lord re minded me its only a little while between now and the time that christ returns for his own on that day little stephen will have a perfect mind and body again i said thank you lord then he said to me jim ive brought this experience to you not to hurt you but to bless you and to make you a blessing i replied dear lord i cant under stand how that would be but ill try to be lieve it and then my mind focussed in on a verse that my wife adrien- ne and i had memo rized years before psalm 2714 wait on the lord be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine heart wait i say on the lord my impulse toj blindly react was bles sedly soothed by this divine pacifier finally i made my way back to the hospit al to share with adrien- ne how god had met me in my need i walked into her room to find a young woman with tears in her eyes but with a smile beam ing through and be fore i could relate my testimony to her she was sharing hers with me i just had to have a word from the lord she said and he gave me philippians 44 rejoice in the lord al ways and again i say rejoice wait on the lord and rejoice in the lord what a blessed com bination as weve watched steven grow up in our home weve had much reason both to wait and to rejoice assured that god is at work doing something wonderful several months after his birth a growing burden began to de velop into a vision why dont christians make themselves more visible in minis try to the handicap ped that burning question prompted a scouting of what christian ministries were available i be- came aware of the lov- mg service of a few pri vate or denominational programs and institu tions but i looked in vain for an interdeno minational evangelist fellowship which would provide a full spectrum of ministry to the hand icapped and their fami lies in gods good provi dence the keen in terest of a number of christian parents pro fessional people and key spiritual leaders was developed an open meeting was held in 1965 and a board was formed now known as christian horizons inc its purpose briefly stated is as follows lto provide christ ian fellowship for per sons interested in the welfare of the excep tional person

person has a normal capacity to love and to trust when he is intro- duced to the love of phrist a retarded per son is usually veryea- ger to respond this has been witnessed over and over again in the camping ministry of christian horizons during the past seven summers more than one hundred campers have made a heart re sponse in faith to jesus christ f yes the retarded can respond to the gos pel and the witness of counsellors and pa rents have verified that there is a definite behavioral change for the better in the life of a retarded person who has established a lov ing relationship with jesus christ in fact since most retarded persons do not have the ability to be good hypocrites their faith is simple strong and genuine and its pris tine beauty is a joy to behold three family
