Amy Angel
Next week on the 13 th a special young lady in our chancel choir will celebrate her 26 th birthday. Her name is Amy Lynn, but she goes by Amy Angel. What makes Amy so special is that she has Downs syndrome. Her mission at church is to send everyone birthday cards. And I do mean everyone. Once she knows your birthday, she never forgets. Amy says it's because she has a list. But the truth is, she remembers.
Last night the choir gave her a small party because they will be on vacation while Jimbob and I are in Glorietta, NM. Nobody wanted to miss Amy's birthday. Although there's little chance of that since she starts reminding you six months in advance. Unlike most of us, she loves having birthdays.
No, Amy cannot carry a tune, but she carries God's love. The choir just wouldn't be the same without our Amy Angel.

God never makes mistakes! Such a great story! One of my best friends had a baby earlier this year and he was born with downs. My friend was really upset over it and I just talked to him about how much love downs kids show... I also reminded him that God doesnt just trust anyone with these kids and that it was a honor to knwo a guy God trusts so much!
God has His reasons, to be sure. Love is what it is all about; we can sure learn things from each other...
