Special Olympics Bowling

I enjoyed helping with the Special Olympics Bowling yesterday.  It was a joy to see all of the Olympian's smiling faces and great attitudes.  Hopefully I was able to make the experience better for them and make their day by encouraging them and helping them.  I was reminded of how I take things for granted and I need to be more thankful for what I have and what God has given me.  They were so happy and so thankful for every little thing I did.  Just saying great job would make them smile and say thank you several times.  I learned alot from the men in my group.  At first, I was a little anxious about helping because I didn't know how to interact with them in the best way, but after the first game I figured out how to help them the best.  I am very privileged and thank you Mr. Mendenhall for letting us experience that.  It was all about the bowlers and it was great watching everyone bowl.  Many of them could bowl much better than I could!  I loved the excitement they showed when they did good and I was glad to be able to share the success with them.   Some people may view them as different physically or mentally, but it hardly took any time at all for me to feel no different around them.   It is wrong to think they are different because God created us all in a special way and they are very special and unique.  Thank you God for making us all how you did!
