Recently a famous social media couple terminated their pregnancy due to a Down syndrome diagnosis, In their explanation, they described Down syndrome as a glitch, an error.
Oscar is not a glitch.
He is not a mistake, an error, or a life that needs to be justified by achievements, milestones, or abilities.
He is created in the image of God. And his worth comes from God.
Yes, some days are hard – very hard. Some seasons are tough and exhausting. There are extra worries, and extra care required. But those hard days do not mean his life is worth any less. Challenges do not erase his value.
If anything, Oscar has taught us what really matters.
He brings joy, love and laughter wherever he goes. He loves people wholeheartedly, and he loves Jesus with a simple and beautiful faith.
The world often measures worth by what someone can do, can achieve. But every person is valuable because they are made in the image of God.
Our worth comes from whose we are.
Oscar is not a mistake to be fixed or a burden to be carried.
He is a gift to be loved.
And our lives are richer because he is in them.
