Autism & Caleb

4/24/2014

7 Comments

 
   For this final Thursday in Autism Awareness Month, I wanted to honour Caleb.        
Picture
   We have had many hard years with him, but the truth is that he is the most genuine person you will ever meet, and has the most contagious laugh and beautiful smile.
   The song playing with the video is called "Meant to Be" and is from the Veggie Tales movie "It's a Meaningful Life". It is written and sung by Steven Curtis Chapman. 
   This song has been "our song" for Caleb since we first heard it on the movie (mentioned above), as we feel it sums up not only how we feel about Caleb, but more importantly, how God feels about Caleb.
  
Chorus

You were meant to be touching
The lives that you touch
And meant to be here
Making this world so much more
Than it would be without you in it

You were meant to be bringing
The gifts that you bring
And singing the songs
You've been given to sing

You are perfectly, wonderfully,
Beautifully meant to be
You were meant to be
 

xoxo Love you Caleb
