This video was very inspiring and helped me to see the better in life. It helps me to be thankful for my well being. Christian is a beautiful baby inside and out. His mom is very proud of her son and I like that. It's not always what's on the outside appearance but the inside appearance too.

I know this video had to be tough for this mom to make. Despite his condition, I think that Christian is a beautiful baby boy. He has strong parents and I'm glad that the mother has grown from this. It makes me sad that there are ignorant people out there who will judge a baby for something he cannot control. It also hurts me that someone told the mother to abort Christian. Not to get too religious but God has a plan for everyone and I think God has good things in store for Christian and his family.

this blog is going to be short because i'm leaving. I was moved by the story of the little boy. His mother must have been heart broken. I can see that she still loves him. I hope they manage to create a wonderful human being out of him.

This is so sad. The little boy looks normal aside from where his eyes didn't form. I'm glad that kind people showed them love. There are always people that are going to be rude. I don't know if I would have the same feeling if that were my child. She has such a positive outlook on an unfortunate situation. As he grows older, I hope that they continue to have that outlook on life and not let other people bring them down just because he looks different.

I think that the story is very inspiring and just so amazing. Her son is a miracle and even though I don't know her or her situation, I'm happy as well that she didn't abort him. Being that I am a Christian, I feel that all things are possible and I'm really happy to see others, with such strong faith in God. I really hope that things continue to get better for her and her family as well as baby Christian.

It was sad that the child was born like that. The child was inspiring though he showed great strength. The parent showed great strength by getting over what people said about their child. It was sad that he will never have a normal life and get to experience what other people can.

This video was so sweet. It is really sad what happened to that little boy. But I think it is a good thing for the world to see because people need to learn to look pass someone's appearance. The people who talk bad about that little boy are rude and they should feel like crap. I think it's a real good thing that he smiles and giggles at people that stare at him although I don't see how he knows they are staring at him. His smiles will hopefully help a lot of people realize that beauty is way more than skin deep.

I thought this story was sad. People shouldn't judge what others look like, because it doesn't matter what's on the outside, what matters is what's on the inside. He might be blind, but at least the people who love him, love him for who he really is. And not what he looks like or the things he has. And yeah him being blind will be hard to cope with. But it opens up a whole new world for him and everyone around him.

I think that she's very strong for keeping her baby. I just wish someone would've punched those people in the face that told her that she should've aborted her baby. It disappoints me that people can be so heartless and cruel. Someone who keeps a baby even though they know the baby may have defects is not a horrible person. It's ridiculous that people would say that. I think the baby has a good chance to become something great because, even though life's going to be harder for him, he has a great support system.

This video was really sweet, but even kind of sad. It had to of been extremely hard for his mother to make this. I think this woman is very strong for just ignoring the rude comments, because things like that can really get to some people. I think Christian is going to grow up strong and learn to not care what people think or say about him. I think people should learn from this mom and Christian. They are truly inspiring.

That was so inspiring. That boy is going to do great things in his life. To think that anyone would be so insensetive to this mother and her son is just disturbing to me. The bond between a mother and her child is the strongest bond you'll ever find. I'm so glad she didn't abort that child. He will inspire people his entire life. I have no idea what else to say because this is just such a beautiful story.

This story is so amazing; it gives life a whole new meaning! To think that someone would tell this woman that she should have aborted her child is saddening. Christian, in his young age, has already affected many lives with his inspirational story. Life is so precious; there is always hope, even when the situation looks as dreadful as Christian’s did. There is always a purpose for the struggles that we go through in this life; Christian is a living testament. He has been used in amazing ways to touch the lives of other people, and that alone is worth the hardship. Christian is a God-given miracle. I also love the video and how this mother constructed it. Writing the story on paper and showing it to the camera ingeniously created a solemn air to the beginning of the story. The music in the background was perfectly incorporated. “How Great is Our God” gives testament to God’s hand in Christian's story and how he has turned this seemingly unfortunate situation into a unique journey that touches anyone willing to listen.

This video is bittersweet. It's kind of sad and must have been extremely hard for the mother. Listening to what other people say would probably really get to me. I am inspired by this video and this family. I loved the music that went along with it. I would not have turned down the volume for anything.
