Recognizing Similarities
As people we tend to think we are alone in our trials and sufferings. Sometimes we think we have it harder than anyone else. The truth is, we all suffer. Everyone of us will go through something difficult that we don't think we will ever be able to survive. I have met very few people that have not experienced deep sorrow and disappointment, and, if I think they haven't, they probably haven't shared the deep wounds of their heart, or they haven't had their turn yet.
- Think of a time with the unexpected happened. How did your react? I love Andy Andrews book, The Noticer Returns. In the book a young man is pushed into a very cold pool and the wise man that pushed the young man in says, "Every single day for the rest of your life, somebody is going to push you in the pool. And you’d better decide now how you’re going to act when it happens.”
- Think about a time when your life changed course?
- What are some of the challenges you think a family affected by disability experiences?
- How about reaching out to a family in your church and asking them about their journey. You will be amazed and you will be blessed to hear their story.
