Several years ago, Mike and Sharon, a couple in Connecticut, read of a little boy named George in Romania who was born without arms and whose parents could not care for him. A year later, this couple visited Romania and fell in love with George and, with the blessings of the biological parents, adopted him and brought him to America. Mike and Sharon not only taught George how to use his feet to feed himself, they also decided he should learn to play an instrument and a cello at that!
Mike writes in a letter to Ravi Zacharias about George's first recital: "The big night came, and George was nervous and telling us he wasn't so sure if he wanted to do this...to make matters worse, there was a much bigger crowd of people than normal for one of these events...many of whom had never seen George or met George before. Several students went up to the front and played their various pieces, and very soon it was time...George's name was called. You could have heard a pin drop as the teacher walked up with him, carrying his instrument, a chair and a large pillow that she placed on the floor to lift up the neck of the cello. She arranged everything as he needed and nodded for him to go ahead..." Tomorrow we'll have the rest of this story a truly inspirational account of unconditional parental love and bravery.
