heatherheggie: These last two weeks have been a bit of a struggle for my Luke and his glasses. He has started to become self conscious and not liking wearing them at all. He wants be like everyone else and not different. He feels like a " nerd" in his 7 year old words and feels like being smart ( which he is) is negative and not a good thing b/c that's what nerds are-- oh the tears he has break my heart b/c he is such an amazing boy with a heart of gold a gift at school-- but now he's frustrated by his own gifts- academically. A few kids made fun of him and he can't shake the feelings no matter how much I tell him he's social wonderful, etc- it doesnt soak in for him from me. A sweet, special boy at school ran up to me in the moddle of two class parties just to tell me how cool luke looked in his glasses last week at baseball-- wow i cried instantly and knew God intersected this boy and me perfectly-- for me to hear it, even tho Luke needs to hear it too-- i guess i did as well!! What a gift to be whimsically surprised by a boy, God and an unwavering love for your son- this beautiful boy named Luke who doesn't know how great he is yet... God help him to fully accept and realize his special gifts and then help him to use them someday!
