Some stories don’t begin with easy answers or predictable miracles. They begin with pain, perseverance, and a love strong enough to reshape the hardest moments of life. In God Bless These Little Legs, mother and son Lisa Sexton and Dr. Tyler Sexton open their personal diaries to share a twenty-year journey of faith, endurance, and everyday courage in the face of Cerebral Palsy.

What started as a simple morning ritual — a mother kneeling on the floor, gently positioning her young son’s stiff legs into braces — became a sacred moment of connection. Each day, as Lisa kissed Tyler’s knees and whispered, “God bless these little legs,” Tyler answered with a smile full of joy, reminding them both that strength isn’t the absence of struggle, but the attitude carried into it.

Through their intertwined reflections, the Sextons offer an intimate view of what it means to live with a diagnosis that challenges not just the body, but the hopes, expectations, and emotional resilience of an entire family. Yet, woven through every trial is a thread of unwavering faith — a testimony to God’s presence in the quiet victories, the unanswered questions, and the grace that emerges when perseverance meets belief.

More than a memoir, God Bless These Little Legs is a heartfelt guide for anyone facing adversity. Lisa and Tyler reveal how prayer, humor, determination, and family unity helped transform what society labeled a “disability” into a powerful example of God’s promises in action. They show that blessings are not always delivered in the ways we expect — sometimes they arrive in the form of endurance, compassion, and the courage to rise each day with hope.

From painful physical challenges to national appearances on The 700 Club, Hour of Power, The God Squad, and The Helpline, the Sextons share the highs and lows of their remarkable journey with honesty and grace. Their story celebrates perseverance, faith, and the quiet miracles found in daily acts of love.

Raw, uplifting, and deeply inspiring, God Bless These Little Legs reminds every reader that God’s mercy is present in the struggle, His grace is present in the waiting, and His promises stand — no matter the circumstances.
