Incredible Faith


One day, Jude's son, Reuben Stringfellow, then 17, brought home a little handicapped puppy with two leg. The puppy was named Faith not because the Stringfellow family believed she could one day walk for herself, but because they knew it would take faith for her to walk on her own. No one could do it for her. If Faith didn't do it, it wouldn't get done.


"I want people to understand that you can be imperfect physically and still be perfect through your soul, through your spirit," she said. I've read a lot of books and stories about people who are not perfect in physically, for example 乙武洋匡, a Japanese, who was born without arms and legs, but just like Faith, with the care and encourage of his family, he leads a positive life and become a writer and reporter;謝坤山, he lost his arms, right leg and even his sights of his right eye, but he never give up. Instead, he show everyone his lively paintings which is drew by his mouth.


Jude Stringfellow take Faith to children's homes, hospitals, churches and other places where she can make people laugh and feel good about life. We see so many fighters fight for their lives, try to prove themselves that they are only disable in physics but they are excellent in leading a meaningful life.
