Hello my sweet,
I believe disabled people and people in need of special care are
Angels. They are born to us so that we may learn some things about
ourselves for example patience, tolerance and unconditional love. I
heard a story this morning on the radio. I thought you
would enjoy it. It goes like this: A few years back during a Special
Olympics, a very endearing thing happened. About eight runners stood at
the starting line of a short running race. When the race began, all but
one boy sprinted forward. The little boy tripped,
stumbled and fell. He got up, stumbled and fell again. Upon hearing
the boy wailing, the other racers stopped in their tracks. They ALL
turned around and went back to the spot where the boy was sitting.
Gently they took him by the hand and lifted him off the
ground. Holding hands, they all walked TOGETHER to the finish line. The
whole stadium cheered. For several minutes all you could hear was
applause.... All you heard was thunderous applause!
It's a great lesson in unity. A lot of times we navigate life as if
we're all alone in the world. We forget that we're in this together.
Those children in the Special Olympics served to teach us this lesson.
At times we may need to help another even if it
means stopping, turning around or altering our course. Treat everyone
with kindness, have a helping heart. Above all, love everyone as you
would a sister or brother. We are ALL in this together.
