Encouragement: A Parent's Love

Hey Guys ~

So it's the middle of the week and I'm looking forward to the Guest Post from my father on Friday. But before that occurs, I thought I would pose a question to my readers. How far would you go to to provide for your children? If you're like most parents, mine included, you would do anything to help them.

Recently, this question became a reality for the Peters family. This Georgian family of five is no stranger to adversity, coping with children who have disabilities. Their daughter was diagnosed with Stills disease; on the other hand, one son has autism. In order to fund for their medical care, they did the unthinkable-they put everything they own on eBay.

That's a very challenging article. But what a testament to the unconditional love of parents.

Looking forward to your Dad's post!
