That was a beautiful post. I drive bus for our county's Special Education District. I have children with an assortment of disorders but I am getting many rewards as a bus driver. They all have a heart of gold. I have had more opportunities to witness for Christ than I have had anywhere else. I have a lot of stories to tell for only three months on the job. You also have to have a sense of humor when some of these kids decide to do something mischeivous.
I have a young lady on my bus who recently got gold medal in the Special Olympics.
I think God puts these kids on this earth to teach us how to love unselfishly.
