If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?  Milton Berle

When is the last time you changed a newborn’s diaper with one hand tied behind your back?  How about tying both hands?  Can’t be done?  Keep reading!

Yet you brought me safely from my mother’s womb and led me to trust you when I was a nursing infant.  (Psa. 22:9; NLT)

As you probably know by now, I’m a sucker for stories of “overcomers.”  By overcomers, I mean those among us who refuse to let a little problem stop them from going after their dreams.  I’ve featured a number of overcomers since we’ve started writing DGs, e.g., a dancing couple (one with only one arm and the other with only one leg), a motivational speaker without any arms or legs, a totally blind teen who has learned to navigate using clicking sounds he makes with his tongue, and a personal friend of ours who was born blind, but who went on to earn a law degree and become a concert pianist. 

Well, Shelley Grieser, a budding coach from Denver, sent me two more incredible stories.  I’ll share one today and the other in Friday’s Daily Gram.  Today’s is about an incredibly awesome mother of a newborn who is handling all the usual motherhood responsibilities with excellence in spite of a handicap that would take most out of the game completely.  You see, this amazing mom has no arms.  What she does with her feet, would put many of us to shame.

There’s not much more I can say…the video clip seems to say it all.  Heard any good excuses lately?

Prayer Power
Lord, we are so incredibly adaptive when we can keep our eyes on You and on our dream instead of feeling sorry for ourselves.  Please remind us of some of these amazing stories the next time we complain…about anything.
