May it bring honor to servant-hearted dads as Father\u2019s Day approaches.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll never forget the day my son, Matthew, then about three, got his first wheelchair. Shiny new and sparkling candy-apple red, it looked, well, so \u201ccute.\u201d Like a toy, actually. It wasn\u2019t, of course. My little boy was paralyzed from the waist down since birth by spina bifida. This wheelchair was going to get him places! My wife and I would no longer have to carry him everywhere. He was excited. We were excited. I loved that chair!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Until I didn\u2019t.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over the next years, Matthew got a ton of use out of that little wheelchair. We took it everywhere\u2014on countless walks, to his school, the mall, local playgrounds, church. That chair became a huge part of his life\u2014and ours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What wasn\u2019t to love?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t easy to lug it around, for one thing. Our car trunk was roomy but we still had to break it down to transport it. Remove the wheels, footrests, and head cushion. Every time. Multiple times each trip. If we faced stairs, it meant carrying Matthew <em>and<\/em> the chair for short distances. Needed maintenance was another thing. Flat tires. Worn breaks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>None of that was cute.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be honest. I got tired of that chair. I knew it was an indispensable part of my son\u2019s life. It wasn\u2019t going away. (Over the next four decades of his life it would only get replaced by bigger\u2014and heavier\u2014chairs.) But I struggled with all of that. Selfish? Yes. Human? I think so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What we\u2019re dealing with here is caregiving.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Coming in all shapes and sizes, it\u2019s a daily reality for millions of people. (Recent stats say about 1 in every 5 adults in our country is a caregiver). Caregiving is hard, demanding, draining, and physically difficult. Caregiving as a parent of a child who is disabled and has special needs is unique to say the least.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What we\u2019re <em>really<\/em> talking about is servanthood.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Choosing to meet the needs of others at the expense of our own. Servanthood is also very hard. It goes against our nature. Faced with a choice between selfishness or servanthood, servanthood often loses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Following Jesus, the Ultimate Servant, means saying \u201cyes\u201d to servanthood!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Matthew\u00a020:28 tells us He came \u201c\u2026not\u2026to be served, but to serve.\u201d Philippians\u00a02:7 says that He took \u201cthe very nature of a servant.\u201d To follow His example\u2014and our only hope to do that is by connecting to His Spirit and power\u2014takes us on a completely different path than the world offers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Servanthood won\u2019t be easy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A little boy, a big chair, and a big lesson about servanthood taught me that. It won\u2019t make your \u201cwheelchairs\u201d any lighter either. Why do it? Because servanthood is a choice worth making and a path worth taking, bringing us to places of personal peace and fulfillment the world can\u2019t touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s give it a try.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Do you like what you see at DifferentDream.com?
