Our family has been memorizing scripture passages lately. Our latest is a scripture we've termed Cicily's Scripture. It's from the New Testament when Jesus' deciples ask him if a man who is blind sinned or if his parents had sinned.
John 9:3 "Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him."
Fortunately we don't live in a time or believe in a faith that teaches that God punishes people for committing sins by giving them or their family members disabilites. We love the second part of the passage that says "the works of God should be made manifest in him".
I've always had great respect for brave people who are willing to come to the world and live in a difficult body. I know Cicily was willing to come to the world in her body so that the works of God could progress through her. I'm so proud of her for her bravery and wisdom.
I love it when someone tells Cicily or lets me know how her life has made a difference in theirs. It good to hear of the benefits of her sacrifice.
