“What if you could be a better husband, father, and man without the use of your legs or hands?”
That was the question that Chad Hymas [hi-miss]’s father asked him, as Chad lay in a hospital bed. He had suddenly become a quadrapaletic after a farming accident. His dad’s words sparked the hope that Chad needed– and today, years later, he is a devoted husband and dad and an inspiring speaker– despite his physical disabilities.
Everyone has limitations– your son included. As parents, it’s important that we help our sons identify and face those limitations head on, as Chad’s dad did. Remind him that being perfect is not God’s call for his life. He can glorify God not in spite of– but because of and through– his own weaknesses.
