Limited....

MEET COLIN......
Colin is 4 years old....almost 5 if you ask him (his birthday is Christmas Eve) Colin is fighting a battle that he is losing right now. He is in the middle of a pretty intense chemo treatment that makes him throw up, not hungry, and if you ask him "sweepy."
However, when you sit down and talk to Colin you would never know he was sick. He laughs, talks, and will tell you stories about his cars, movie collection, and his papa's farm. He has more engery then anyone that I know.
Rev. Lisa and I walked into his room for the first time today and Colin under his gas mask looking thing asked me "do you like cartoon's?" "I said some of them." Well what about SpongeBob?" For the sake of this moment I said "Yes I like SpongeBob." "Well lets color a picture!!"
Colin's mom "Can you ask Miss Danielle nicely if she wants to color a picture?" Colin "mommy sometimes you have to just say things."

I colored a picture of SpongeBob, but I was limited to what I could do.....you see Colin chose the colors, and I colored where he told me too. However, limited from coloring a picture was nothing compared to what this little boy is limited to do. He cannot run, play with his cars on his carpet, play with is big sister, or eat the things he wants. He is hooked up to machines, sleeps during times he should be playing, but if you look at him you would never know.

Limitedness shouldn't stop us from living. finding the laughter, converstions, and tell people what makes us happy. I learned a lesson from Colin: and that is even though we are limited life should still be something we enjoy. Things are going to happen, but they shouldnt stop us.

Sometimes God gives us limitations but we need to take them and work with what we got.
