Inspiration Beyond Anything I Have Ever Encountered Before

Please watch this video, if this does not help change your perspective then nothing ever will.

The next time I am feeling sorry for myself, I will definately remember what I saw here, and know that I have plenty to be thankful for.  No matter what we are going through, there is always someone who has it worse than we do, and if we can stop and take the time to remember this, then the light at the end of the tunnel won't seem so far away anymore.

Please come back and share your feelings if you do watch this.  I received this in an email from my cousin, and this couldn't have been a more perfect time to share it, with Thanksgiving only weeks away.

Wow. I had to explore and found that there are lots of videos of this man. What an amazing ministry.

I "met" a young woman online a few years ago who was also born with no arms or legs. She has a ministry also, but it's a blog ministry. She was quite an inspiration to me.

I still cannot quit thinking...wow. I forwarded this video to about 6 people.

If anyone doesn't have faith after watching this then they will never get faith until it truly happens to them.
Problems...I don't have any!
Thank you so very much for sharing this with me.

That was so wonderful. He will be a great inspiration to those that say "I can't". If he can, anyone can. Thank you for sharing this with me.

Anne, I couldn't watch this without soundless tears trickling down my cheeks. Thank you. His face will remain with me. The absolute window to his soul.

Dang. You know, I try so hard to keep my makeup looking nice and here you go.

Thank you. I sent it to my 21 year old with hope.

Someone posted the link yesterday it is amazing.

He is impressive. I also checked out a few of the other videos. It just goes to prove that our only limitations are the ones that we perceive for ourselves.
Anne G. Nov 11, 2008, 4:04pm EST
I couldn't watch this without crying either. I have been watching some of his other videos as well, and I know that my life may have been extremely hard at times, but mine has been a charmed one compared to what this man has overcome. I am ashamed of how I have handled some of the things in my life, when he has shown such strength and courage.

So with that in mind I have finally come to a piece of mail that was addressed to me in regards this article submission you have created to share with the gather community. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your piece with us here at gather. :o)

Heard about this guy a whle back and it still brings tears to my eyes and I am not an emotional person hardly. A millions stars thanks for teh gentle reminder how blest we really are. I gripe about not being able to hear normal and this guy has it worst which is his blessing.
