Imagine going from 0 to 5 kids in 18 months. That sounds like a whole lot of stress and sleep deprivation. As much as those things have been true for Steve and Bec, they are overwhelmed in thankfulness as they take great joy and delight in God’s gift to them. God took them on a long, and often painful journey that involved infertility, fostering and finally biological twins. But along the way, they’ve seen God’s faithfulness appear again and again.

Psalm 116

1 I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
    he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me,
    I will call on him as long as I live.

3 The cords of death entangled me,
    the anguish of the grave came over me;
    I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord:
    “Lord, save me!”

5 The Lord is gracious and righteous;
    our God is full of compassion.
6 The Lord protects the unwary;
    when I was brought low, he saved me.

7 Return to your rest, my soul,
    for the Lord has been good to you.

8 For you, Lord, have delivered me from death,
    my eyes from tears,
    my feet from stumbling,
9 that I may walk before the Lord
    in the land of the living.

10 I trusted in the Lord when I said,
    “I am greatly afflicted”;
11 in my alarm I said,
    “Everyone is a liar.”

12 What shall I return to the Lord
    for all his goodness to me?

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
    and call on the name of the Lord.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord
    is the death of his faithful servants.
16 Truly I am your servant, Lord;
    I serve you just as my mother did;
    you have freed me from my chains.

17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you
    and call on the name of the Lord.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the house of the Lord—
    in your midst, Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord.

In Western countries, people are living longer and spending more years of their life with an age-related disability like hearing or vision loss. The average person in a Western country will actually spend between 8-20 years of their life with some kind of disability. But despite that, disability is still treated like a marginal issue and not something that impacts everyone. Churches are no different which is why Louise Gosbell has become so passionate about this issue after being impacted by this in a personal way many years ago.
