Samuel is a special one - that's how he is made to be, since his conception, to his delivery and to his existence. Many times, I feel like I am just a custodian who stands afar, and watches God unfold His grace in this boy's life. As many people look at Samuel and comment on his long eyelashes, his handsome looks and his cheeky demeanour, I can only nod readily not because I nor Daniel gave him his good looks...but we know surely that Samuel is God's special creation and thus His honor and glory alone.
Looking at Samuel reminds me poignantly of the words that Tiny Tim uttered in the Christmas Carol. Tiny Tim had hoped that when the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember upon Christmas Day, Who made lame the walk and the blind to see. The very same way, it seems that God has placed a reminder through Samuel to all, those who know Him and those who don't, that there is a Divine Being, greater than all His creatures. God is the one who shielded this little boy from the effects of chemotherapy and God is the one who formed his inner parts. Sammy is my reminder of a God who is real and a God who is sovereign and a God who is loving and a God who is powerful. What a wonderful God we serve!
He is turning two in a week's time and we are still praying for the Lord to preserve him from childhood diseases.
