Nick Vujicic. Maybe you’ve heard of him, maybe not. You won’t forget him. Nick was born in 1982. This young baby boy was born early one morning. His mother heard the little one crying right after birth, and thought everything was fine, but something was eerily wrong. The doctor who delivered Nick and the attending nurses were speechless – literally. What this excited young mom didn’t know and couldn’t see was that her precious baby boy was born … without arms and legs!
His father looked at the infant and wondered, “What possible future could this child have?” Mom and dad gave Nick unconditional love and support. For a time, Nick didn’t realize he was that much different from other kids. When he was six, doctors devised a mechanical set or arms to help him be “normal” and do things for himself. But by then, he had become quite accomplished at doing things without the modern wonder of mechanical prosthetics. They weren’t necessary! Nick didn’t see himself as disabled!
Nick learned to overcome incredible odds and now lives an extraordinarily normal life! He’s learned to surf in the ocean, he’s learned to swim, and he’s learned to play golf! Nick has learned to be thankful for what you have instead of being angry for what you don’t have. Nick is not one in a million, he’s one in a billion. He’s learned; you find a way around life’s obstacles.
Nick Vujicic is a motivational speaker and an evangelist. He firmly believes that at every speech he gives, whether there are a dozen people or a sell-out crowd, there’s one person in the audience that he is meant to reach! His foundation: “LifeWithoutLimbs” helps untold millions who's lives have been shortchanged and overcome life’s obstacles. His book, “Unstoppable” is on the New York Times bestseller list. Nick has seen God take the broken pieces of his life and make something beautiful. Did we mention that he is married and the proud father of a beautiful newborn boy? Embrace what you have. Read 1 Timothy 6:6-10
God can do so much more than we can ever hope or imagine!
There are two awesome reasons to be thankful and grateful for God, His constant goodness and His steadfast love. When we recognize the nature of our depravity (regardless of our conditions) and understand that, apart from God, there is only death our natural response is to be grateful for the life He gives. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”. John 10:10 I am certain the baby born to the Vujicic’s makes their life abundantly fuller and richer—and that is what Jesus does for us all. Gratefulness is befitting—indeed!
