Count Your Blessings, Not Your Chromosomes

Annette and Charlotte,

Let’s not be consumed by Down syndrome. Let's direct our energy towards serving others and looking beyond ourselves. Our design is perfect, there is no more on which to dwell or prove. Identity and purpose are found in Christ, not genetics.

Let’s befriend gratitude and invite it daily into our mind-sets, appreciating commonalities, differences and each breath. We will embrace lightheartedness and forgo the weight of over-analyzing our world. Laughter will be our selfdefense. Together, let’s be brave enough to engage, change and grow. This will be our joy, and joy is my hope for you. 

Love Mom
