Just Say Congratulations

Hi, I'm Johnny York-Sentata. Whenever you hear of a co-worker who is expecting, or you're

run into a friend who is pregnant, all of the natural response is to say, congratulations.

But when it comes to a friend who is expecting a child with a disability, what do you say?

Well, it's a good question and the answer is not that complicated, because actually,

congratulating someone for their baby is always a great response. And perhaps you might

want to add, you know, a friend you are not alone, I am praying for you. Or writing

Psalm 127 on a congratulations card that children are a gift from the Lord. Psalm 127 includes

all children. Yes, a special needs baby is a precious gift from above. Are you wondering

what else you could do to encourage your friend who's expecting a child with a disability

or some other health challenge? Then visit our resource page at johnionfriends.org. And

don't forget to pray for that special needs mom who's expecting.
