He is a special child!

My son's name is Keegan. He really is a special child? Yes, I know what you are thinking. Every mom thinks their child is special, right? But, I have a feeling deep down inside that he is really special. How special, you ask? How do you measure that? Do you compare all the twelve year olds in the world? Is there a test you can give to determine that? Everything else seems to be tested. His health,his eyesight, his intellect, his creativity, his athletic ability, his reading comprehension, it has all been tested. Duke wants to test him for a 7th grade Talent Search. I really don't know what they are going to find out from a test on paper. I am sure there are millions of other children being tested for that, too.

I think he is very special because of who he is. I think he is special because he is very smart. He's not the smartest kid in the world or even in his school. I think he is special because he respects people and is well liked by adults, teachers, coaches, and kids. I am sure there are other kids like that. I think he is special because he is an all around great athlete. He isn't the best all around athlete out there. He is special because he has a great sense of humor that make me and others laugh. He is witty. He has good common sense. He is special because he loves life. He is special because he has great self respect. He is easy to teach,coach, and instruct. He is special because he is a great friend. He doesn't have a ton of friends. He is special because he has asked Jesus to be Lord of his life. There are a lot of Christian kids out there. Oh, I am sure you could list as many or more attributes of your child to compare to Keegan. He isn't perfect, but he is very special! And there is so much more...... He is a great son! He is a great brother! He is an awesome kid! Okay, yes, I could ramble on and on and on.......

I don't know what is ahead in life for Keegan. I don't know why I have this feeling. I do know God can to do great things with him and will if he will let Him. I do know that I love him! And yes, he is a special child!
