I started my new job last week, and I have to say that I love it! It will be hard to leave in October. (I know I am jumping the gun here). I work for a pediatric rehabilitation clinic where a great number of children with various delays and disorders come in to be brought up to speed according to their age and development stage. The position that I am in allows me to work hands on with some of these blessed little souls, which makes my job a lot of work, but loads of fun. I realized how precious our development is when we are young. The fact that we attain such seemingly insignificant developmental landmarks in our lives without flaw or disorder is nothing short of a sheer miracle. We, who developed "normally" take for granted what our parents and family helped us first hand to do. Things such as learning how to hold a bottle, learning how to roll over, or even put your hands in front of you when you are falling down. These are all examples of vital developmental skills that we acquired and yet hardly recognize. My point: Be thankful of the blessings that God placed forth in your life. Yes, this does sound like a cliche', but when you realize all of the physiological factors that must be put into play for you to even sit in your chair right now, you will find that you are nothing short of God's own miracle.
