I just wanted to post about a guy at my school whom is seeing impaired.
He can't see. I don't know if he is 100% blind or just legally. He walks around with a stick and I have seen him run into things before, so I am thinking he is fully blind. Anyhow, let me get to the part that really blesses me.
A lot of people use their disabilities as an excuse... This young man rides the bus, goes to school, and then some. You know, I don't have any disabilities that are major (other than a heart murmur...
), but I think of how sometimes I make excuses for not going to class... "I have a headache", "I have cramps".. and here is this young man doing everything, treating his disability as if there were none. I so admire that. Everyone could learn something from that.
I admire those of you who don't let your disabilities anger you or make you bitter. I admire those of you who do what you want to do, regardless of the disability. I have seen so many become angry at the world and angry at God because of things that may be a MINOR setback. So, I really admire and thank God that you all look past that and continue to do what you have to do. God bless you all.
I hope this doesn't sound condescending, but I sincerely mean it from the bottom of my heart. You guys are awesome and strong and wonderful examples of what it means to live.
