Matthew 7:12
“Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
The following was an encouraging response to my Daily-E-Votional concerning responding to those needing a helping hand. Thanks, Nancy!
Thank you for the message. Enjoyed reading it. Have met a young man who is in a wheel chair and has several physical disabilities. Not many people take up time with him, but several of the people who run the coffee house watch and take care of him when he comes in.
I use to watch 4 classes of mentally handicapped students in our high school until they were sent to a school just for them. Several of these students had to wear helmets or braces on their legs. Some of the parents really took care of them while others did not. The lead instructor told me that these children never get much improvement that at the age of puberty they regress. They become nearly like a 4 year old child. They do not like change and many of them of course die at a younger age.
I have also seen babies who had water heads. They had to be kept in a nursery setting and were taken care of 24/7. They used to have housing for children with disabilities who could not be taken care of otherwise. They don’t have those types of facilities any more.
I have seen parents who had children with Spina Bifida who were taken care of and those who were not taken care of. There was nothing wrong with these children mentally…only physically.
I have seen a couple (the gentleman became a pastor of a church) who both had cerebral palsy. There are many people in this world that just need a loving hug or a kind word. They need others (like ourselves) to show them that God cares for them too. These people have more of God in them than some who CALL themselves Christian possess.
It is sad to see so many people with so much hatred and animosity toward others. There are people who choose sin over what God wants us to be, but we can still show them God’s Love and Pray for them.
Take care and stay safe… may God continue to shower you with His Blessings… in Jesus Name.
Thanks again Nancy. Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!
