It is a wonderful feeling when you log on to Facebook and the first picture you see is your seven year old daughter representing a entire summer camp program for a company.
It reminds me that no matter what we go through in life God put us here for a purpose maybe it is to encourage others maybe it is to help others maybe it is to help ourselves but whatever the reason I know God put us here to do something greater than we even ever will recognize.
When I was six years old I represented the united way cerebral palsy center this was a worldwide organization I was there poster child and my picture with my therapist in physical therapy was represented all over the world for their company. At this time I had no idea what it even meant to represent anything let alone a entire company that represented nothing but disabled people.
I went all over Louisiana raising money for children with disabilities we had a big picnic downtown in Baton Rouge where thousands and thousands of people came just to Shake my hand.
I did not know what it meant at the time but just seeing my daughter on the owner's Facebook page representing something he loves so much truly makes me proud. Not only is she representing disable kids for this summer camp but she is representing all able-bodied kids too.
We truly enjoy this camp last summer because they made her feel very comfortable in her own skin with her disability and I am proud that they selected her as one of the kids to promote their program for the summer. make sure that when you're out there living your life your children and you are in a position to always represent something greater than themselves.
