Differences

When a baby is born they have their own language.
The parents figure out what this sound means or what that look means.
They then go about giving the infant what they are "telling" them is needed.

The toddler can show happiness, sadness, anger or anticipation.
They use their arms to hit or hug, their legs to run or stomp
and their mouth to scream or laugh.

Then your child learns words and begins to know your own language.
The child becomes like you. You understand how they think.
You know what excites them and what scares them.

With our special infant we thought she was responding like a normal infant.
Then when we found out she was not normal we began learning her language.
And yes she has her own language.

Big, bright eyes mean she is happy.
A frown with intense eyes mean she is hurting.
Searching eyes mean she hears someone she knows.
Her many facial expressions always mean something.

She can be anticipating something or she can be excited to see someone
or she is very interested in something she might see or hear.

We "know" her communication better than anyone...still, it can be so
strange and unfamiliar.

She can laugh hysterically over a certain sound.
Like when her brother and sister made a balloon squeal as the air came out.
She can get wild and crazy playing in the stander and knock off the tin pan
she was playing with only to laugh at the loud sound it made hitting the floor.
She can vocalize with loud sounds at inconvenient  times.
Like when we are watching T.V., her brother will then say, "Be Quiet!"
and push at her arm.  Then we say, "Quit Daniel! Leave her alone."
Either way no one heard the T.V. But Sarah is still happy!

Only Jesus knows what things mean in Sarah's language.
He will tell us one day.
But will it matter in our heavenly home?
Will it matter that we did not know what she was thinking?



It is a short time on this earth and an eternity in our heavenly home.
