Comments on: Why tulips? http://gotsnow.org Welcome to the Snow family blog. As we reflect on our lives we see God's hand in the many extras that He provides. There are times that we don't recognize His extra blessings, but He promises that all things work together for good. As you read we encourage you to pause and recognize God's goodness in your life and the extras He gives to you. God is surely good. Be sure to leave a comment and let us know you visited!

I just love it! It sure helps me understand how it must feel to welcome a child with down syndrome, or any other condition that is unexpected. I think a lot of people could understand the disappointment of being detoured, and trying to make the best of an "unfortunate" situation. However, what a lot of people might not understand (and what this story helps me understand), is that it's not "unfortunate" at all. God is your tour guide, and that detour is actually a blessing, if you take the time to notice the extras; the unexpected beauty that takes your breath away. You are a wonderful family! Thank you for sharing your "trip to Holland" with all of us! I need to check your blog more often! You do a great job! I cry every time I read this story! I just love it!

As a preschool teacher of children with developmental delays, I have taught a few children who have Down Syndrome. It does change your plan, doesn't it? However, what joy it brings to those of us who take a part in their lives. And, as you well know, they are children first - who happen to be different. Doesn't mean there aren't bumps along the way! I look forward to reading more on your blog. Cathy Hello,

I read your posting on Why Tulips? How true it rings. As a preschool teacher of children with developmental delays, I have taught a few children who have Down Syndrome. It does change your plan, doesn’t it?

However, what joy it brings to those of us who take a part in their lives. And, as you well know, they are children first - who happen to be different. Doesn’t mean there aren’t bumps along the way!

I look forward to reading more on your blog.

Cathy
