I Love My Attorney


After living what I felt was a 'decent' life, my time on earth came to the end.     


The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a court house.

The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.

As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor.'

He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.

I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him.

The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing robes.

He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room I couldn't take my eyes off of Him.

As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, 'Let us begin.'

The prosecutor rose and said, 'My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in hell.'

He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and In the past when I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down in my seat I sank.

I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely forgotten about.

As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not offering any form of defense at all.

I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?

Satan finished with a fury and said, 'This man belongs in hell, he is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise.'

When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned Him to come forward.

As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in His full splendor and majesty.

I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, my Lord and my Savior.

He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, 'HI, DAD,' and then He turned to address the court.

'Satan was correct in saying that this man had sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this man deserves to be punished.'

Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, 'However, I died on the cross so that this person might have eternal life and he has accepted Me as his Savior, so he is Mine.'

My Lord continued with, 'His name is written in the Book of Life, and no one can snatch him from Me.
'Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy.'

As Jesus sat down, He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said, 'There is nothing else that needs to be done. I've done it all.'

The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following words bellowed from His lips.....

'This man is free. The penalty for him has already been paid in full. Case dismissed.'
As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, 'I won't give up, I will win the next one.'
I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, 'Have you ever lost a case?'

Christ lovingly smiled and said, 'Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you, ~Paid In Full.'


'Stop telling God how big your storm is.
Instead, tell the storm how big your God is!

A SPECIAL NEEDS CLASSES

Background

The Special Needs Classes was established in 2008. It has two (2) stream classrooms with a total number of nineteen (19) children with intellectual disabilities; fourteen (14) are male while five (5) are female. There are three (3) special teachers in the school with one (1) attendant.

As the normal practice in some other special schools in the country, the Special Needs Classes lack the necessary play and development materials for the children including appropriate chairs and tables. Further, the two classes have no electricity and most parents find it very difficult to send their children with intellectual disability to the school due to
1.     The nature of the school and
2.     Discrimination attitude of some taxi drivers to pick their children to and from school.

Meanwhile, it is the responsibility of government of all countries to ensure that children with disabilities receive good quality education in an inclusive environment. Also, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) recognizes the right of all children with disabilities both to be included in the general education systems and to receive the individual support they require.

It is an established fact that inclusion of children with disabilities in education is important for four main reasons.
1.       Education contributes to human capital and is thus a key determinant of personal well-being and welfare for people with disabilities.

2.       Excluding children with disabilities from educational and employment opportunities has high social and economic costs. For example, adults with disabilities tend to be poorer than those without disabilities, but education changes this status.

3.       Countries cannot achieve “Education for All” or the Millennium Development Goal of universal completion of primary education without ensuring access to education for children with disabilities.

4.       Countries that are signatories to the UN Convention on the Right of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) cannot fulfill their responsibilities under Article 24 of the CRPD.

Conclusion

The Unit Head of the Special Needs Classes   needs the following play and development materials to enable them support the special needs children to learn basic life skills for a living:
·            E-toys and puzzles,
·            TV set and play & development CDs,
·            Painting Furniture,
·            Electricity and support to pay the electricity bills,
·            Vehicle to be conveying the children to and from school.
