Tickles the Bear is my best friend. Tickles knows that I'm a little....well....I guess just a little different. But he doesn't mind. He knows that's just how God made me. And he likes me anyways, even though I am a little different. You see, last year the doctor told me that I have A.D.D. I guess that just means that I have trouble paying attention. Sometimes I get real wiggly and can't sit still. Sometimes I'm just thinking my own thoughts and I don't hear mom call my name. I even forget things that are really important even when I'm trying so hard to remember. Sometimes I talk out of turn. Other times I act before I think. I don't mean to be that way...I just have some special problems that most people don't have. I don't understand everything about A.D.D. yet. I just know that I'm a little different. I talk to my mom about it. I tell her I don't want to be different. I just want to be like everybody else. But she says that God made me that way for a reason. And that God loves me very much...whether I have A.D.D. or not. She says there's good things about A.D.D. too. She says that lots of people with ADD are very creative, and that they are good in art lots of times too. She says I'm a very good artist too, just like them. And you know what else? She says that we all have things about us that we don't like. I guess she's right. My Dad says he doesn't like his big ears. He thinks they stick out. And they do stick out, but I like Dad just the way he is. Mom says she doesn't like being so short. And, she is kinda short for being a grown-up. But I don't mind...that's just the way God made her. And he loves her just as much as anyone else. And besides that, I love her too. It seems like none of us are perfect. We all have something about us that we wish was a little different. But you know something? God wants you to understand that the way he made you is wonderful and great! He made you the way he did for a reason. You may not know exactly why he made you that way. Maybe some day you will understand. But, right now, he just wants you to know that you are very special to him...no matter how different you are. He made us each a little different on purpose. Just think...the world would be pretty boring if we were all exactly the same, wouldn't it? So it doesn't matter that you're not perfect. God loves you anyway! He knows everything about you and still loves you very much. And even more than that, he uses people who are not perfect to help others. God wants you to praise him for how he made you. So instead of wishing you were different, lets just thank God for making each of us wonderful and amazing. So even if you have A.D.D. too, or if you think you are too big or too small; If you think you are too short or too tall, too skinny or too pudgy, just remember how much God loves you anyway. He loves us all very, very much. He made us all different, and he made us all special. So, the next time you start to wish you were different, just thank the Lord for how he made you so wonderful and amazing! And, instead of wanting our friends to be different, lets just tell them how much we like them. We can tell them that we like them just the way God made them. And we can let them know that we are very glad that God made them the way he did! |
