Leonard

This little guy's Reece's Rainbow name is Leonard. There is not much listed about him. Besides being 9 years old and having Down's Syndrome there is just a short description. "very quiet, friendly and cheerful."



That short description and that lost looking little face have truly tugged at my heart. This boy looks like such a sweet, gentle guy.

I just imagine that he has been shuffled through nine long years. Going where he's told, doing what he's told...just trying to get by. Trying to get what he needs, but stay out of the way. Trying to make sense of things. People always in a hurry. No one truly sees him or takes the time to slow down to his pace to understand and help him to understand.

I'm going to be praying for this guy. Praying that he gets noticed. Praying that his family finds him and brings him home this year. Praying that he holds on while he waits. 

He needs a family, but something tells me that somewhere there is a family in need of him too. I'm guessing that he will be such a blessing to someone. I'll be praying that the Lord works out the details.
