This weekend my daughter and I worked the Special Olympics Bowling Competition in our area. I was the chair for this event for the National Charity League chapter that we belong to. We arrived early on Saturday not really knowing what to expect. What we realized soon was that there are many special people in this world that are too often overlooked, however, there are also many, many good people who strive to make their lives rewarding. I was so touched by the goodness of the Special Olympics staff and the other volunteers who dedicated their time to this event to make it successful. I think God graces us with moments in our lives when we realize that all the material things in the world mean nothing. What matters are there are people in this world who care and love those around them unconditionally.
We had a family that worked with Special Olympics people in our former church. It was a wonderful ministry for them. One of the men that participated in the S.O. won many many trophies and medals. He was also a member of our church. It really takes special people to do this kind of work.
