Beautiful woman inside and out...
Sarah Palin imagined God talking to her in a deeply touching email she wrote two weeks before her fifth child, Trig, was born with Down's Syndrome.
The poignant message was sent to family and friends...
To the Sisters, Brother, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends of Trig Paxson Van Palin (or whatever you end up naming him!):
I am blessing you with this surprise baby because I only want the best for you. I've heard your prayers that this baby will be happy and healthy, and I've answered them because I only want the best for you!
I heard your heart when you hinted that another boy would fit best in the Palin family, to round it out and complete that starting five line-up. Though another girl would be so nice, you didn't think you could ask for what you REALLY wanted, but I knew, so I gave you a boy because I only want the best for you!
Then, I put the idea in your hearts that his name should be "Trig", because it's so fitting, with two Norse meanings: "True" and "Brave Victory". You also have a Bristol Bay relative with that name, so I knew it would be best for you!
Then, I let Trig's mom have an exceptionally comfortable pregnancy so she could enjoy every minute of it, and I even seemed to rush it along so she could wait until near the end to surprise you with the news - that way Piper wouldn't have so long to wait and count down so many days - just like Christmastime when you have to wait, impatiently, for that special day to finally open your gift? (Or the way the Palins look forward to birthday celebrations that go on for three, four days... you all really like cake .) I know you, I knew you'd be better off with just a short time to wait!
Then, finally, I let Trig's mom and dad find out before he was born that this little boy will truly be a GIFT. They were told in early tests that Trig may provide more challenges, and more joy, than what they ever may have imagined or ever asked for. At first the news seemed unreal and sad and confusing . But I gave Trig' s mom and dad lots of time to think about it because they needed lots of time to understand that everything will be OK, in fact, everything will be great, because I only want the best for you!
I've given Trig's mom and dad peace and joy as they wait to meet their new son. I gave them a happy anticipation because they asked me for that. I'll give all of you the same happy anticipation and strength to deal with Trig's challenges, but I won't impose on you...
I just need to know you want to receive my offer to be with all of you and help you everyday to make Trig's life a great one.
This new person in your life can help everyone put things in perspective and bind us together and get everyone focused on what really matters . The baby will expand your world and let you see and feel things you haven't experienced yet. He'll show you what "true, brave victory" really means as those who love him will think less about self and focus less on what the world tells you is "normal" or "perfect". You will grow and be blessed with greater understanding that will be born along with Trig.
Trig will be his dad's little buddy and he'll wear Carhartts while he learns to tinker in the garage. He'll love to be read to, he'll want to play goalie, and he'll steal his mom's heart just like Track, Bristol, Willow and Piper did. And Trig will be the cuddly, innocent, mischievous, dependent little brother that his siblings have been waiting for in fact Trig will - in some diagnostic ways - always be a mischievous, dependent little brother, because I created him a bit different than a lot of babies born into this world today.
Every child is created special, with awesome purpose and amazing potential. Children are the most precious and promising ingredient in this mixed up world you live in down there on earth. Trig is no different, except he has one extra chromosome. Doctors call it "Down's Syndrome", and Downs kids have challenges, but can bring you much delight and more love than you can ever imagine! Just wait and see, let me prove this, because I only want the best for you!
Some of the rest of the world may not want him, but take comfort in that because the world will not compete for him. Take care of him and he will always be yours!
Trig's mom and dad don't want people to focus on the baby's extra chromosome. They're human, so they haven't known how to explain this to people who are so caring and are interested in this new little Alaskan. Sarah and Todd want people to share in the joy of this gift I'm giving to the Palin family, and the greater Alaska family. Many people won't understand... and I understand that. Some will think Trig should not be allowed to be born because they fear a Downs child won't be considered "perfect" in your world. (But tell me, what do you earthlings consider "perfect" or even "normal" anyway? Have you peeked down any grocery store isle, or school hallway, or into your office lunchroom lately? Or considered the odd celebrities you celebrate as "perfect" on t.v.? Have you noticed I make `em all shapes and sizes? Believe me ,, there is no "perfect"!)
Many people will express sympathy, but you don't want or need that, because Trig will be a joy. You will have to trust me on this.
I know it will take time to grasp this and come to accept that I only want the best for you, and I only give my best. Remember though: "My ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts... for as the heavens are higher than the earth, my ways are higher than yours!"
I wrote that all down for you in the Good Book ! Look it up! You claim that you believe me - now it's time to live out that belief!
Please look to me as this new challenge and chapter of life unfolds in front of you. I promise to equip you. I won't give you anything you can't handle. I am answering your prayers. Trig can't wait to meet you. I'm giving you ONLY THE BEST!
Love,
Trig's Creator , Your Heavenly Father
Of course the MSM will spin this as if she is crazy.
Meanwhile it is perfectly sane for Hillary Clinton to channel Eleanor Roosevelt.
Very touching :)
Ya know.......if this is all people have to worry about, they shouldn’t even get involved in voting. Hell.....at my age, I hear a lot of people talking to me.
“Of course the MSM will spin this as if she is crazy.
Meanwhile it is perfectly sane for Hillary Clinton to channel Eleanor Roosevelt.”
Excellent observation. MSNBC headlines will read :
“Palin now thinks she is God”
“Palin sends herself emails from God”
“Not content on on GOP nomination, Palin now pretends to be God”
Makes me cry. We have friends who have a Down Syndrome daughter who is 19 now and they say she is such a blessing. She is a wonderful young lady and we all love her.
Wow! Poignant and very moving. Once again demonstrating why so many Americans admire Sarah Palin. Of course the media will mock this - but at their peril. It’s a loving mother gently explaining to her family and friends why she and Todd will love and cherish the new life she was preparing to bring into the world, using God to ‘speak’ for her and express her love. Beautiful.
HE speaks to us all, we just have to be open & quiet to hear HIS voice. I really enjoy reading this. Fore we too have a son [Lance] who had Down Syndrome, and he is just so full of love & life. I just need to wear jet powered roller blades just to keep up with him. Lance is 13 almost 14 years old now.
well done

Sarah Palin’s Emails on Christian Faith Draw Media’s Fire

MSNBC headlines will read :
“Palin believes in God” (editors: heh heh! That will really get her for sure!)
Wow. This woman has FAITH!
darn it, my monitor just got blurry.
Lance is the same age as my little grandson Nathan, who is also Downs. What a wonderful gift he is, I can’t imagine life without him. I can tell you feel the same way.
I told my daughter when he was born, “You know how special you are, that GOD chose you to be his parents, HE knew you would do a good job”. They have.
The MSM trying to twist this will only reveal once and for all who and what they are.
How anyone could read that and not be touched by love
is beyond me.
I know there are those whose bile and hate will overwhelm
their better sense and I can only feel pity for them.
This is the person our country has needed for such a
long time.
Draft Sarah Palin for President. 2012 ~ !
Sarah, you are so beautiful, inside and out.
Obama imagines himself as god, talking down to us.
Spawns of a parthenogenic Satan.
As for those that do not believe God talks to us then stay still long enough and clear your mind of everything, then talk to him..You will be surprised at how he will help you..
