Sometimes we doubt our abilities as parents with illness, but this woman reminds us not to limit ourselves.
If you live with chronic pain and limitations, chances are you have those days where you have felt like your lack of abilities were impairing the kind of parenting that you always imagined you would do.
Living with rheumatoid arthritis, I have dealt with not being able to lift my son some days when he was a toddler, not being able to go down the slides or climb many steps, and being unable to open a bottle of milk while he was screaming for it. It can be disheartening and frustrating.
But I’ve never once had to fold laundry with my toes.
Let me introduce you to this amazing woman who actually lives with no arms at all. That’s right she does not have arms, and yet she is an amazing mom (with a pretty fabulous husband we think too!)
We hope this video inspires you today to know that regardless of what abilities or disabilities God has handed you, there is always a way for you to fulfill the purpose that He has for your life. Many moms who live with illness or disability feel as though they are not providing the life for their children that God intended. But God really IS in control and He knows that if you are a disabled mom or disabled dad that if you have the right attitude each day He can use it to glorify Him.
