A young woman with Down syndrome was absolutely ecstatic after receiving an invite to a birthday party.
People constantly want more and more, which is no way to live. No one wants to be around someone who is never satisfied with what they have been given. However, most people, if they are being honest with themselves, are guilty of this at one point or another. We simply don’t appreciate the ways in which our lives have been blessed enough.
If they would stop for a second and actually think about their lives, most people would likely realize that they have been blessed greatly. As is usually the case, we take things for granted. That’s why it’s always moving to see someone really appreciate and be grateful for something that most individuals would probably take for granted.
A clip posted on social media shows a young woman, Macy, who was overjoyed after receiving an invitation to a classmate’s birthday party. Macy, a ninth-grade student with Down syndrome, could not contain her excitement.
The young woman wasn’t the only one who reacted emotionally to the invitation. Macy's mother, the woman behind the camera, was actually brought to tears.
“I’m so happy for you,” the woman says to Macy.
The video’s caption explained why the birthday invite meant so much to the mother and daughter. The mother, who posted the video, wrote, “We can count on one hand the amount of birthday parties she’s been invited to by school peers/friends SINCE KINDERGARTEN!”
The mother ended her sweet Instagram post by adding, “Macy!!! You are deserving of every birthday party in the whole wide world.”
This clip shows how much of a difference a little kindness can make in someone’s life. Many people take birthday invitations for granted or toss them to the side. But to Macy and her mother, they meant the world.
Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”
