Guest guest Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 I love these emails! They are so uplifting and always have some truth to them. God Bless! P linda@... " Dispel The Shadows " is a young, 20 something former student of mine with cerebral palsy who has spent her entire life in a wheelchair. Today, her life consists solely of sitting all day in her wheelchair, greeting customers walking in and out of a department store. Yet, to meet and talk with her, the radiance of her smile and the sparkle of her enthusiasm is so overwhelming, it is easy to dismiss her handicap and be captured by her personality. On the other hand, is an older man who fell a great distance, fractured his spine, and spent several years in a hospital unable to move anything except his head. Over time, God blessed , letting him slowly recuperate to the extent that today he can use a walker and move about. When I talk with , he is quick to tell of God's blessings, but just as quickly, he suspends talking about his blessing of health to focus on his possessions. Each time I talk with , I leave her feeling blessed of God to know such a wonderful person. When I talk with , I leave him reminded of a handicapped person blessed of God who owns things. Although both and have a witness of God in their hearts, it is a shame how one demonstrates it and the other only talks about it. Some may live their entire lives in the shadows of handicaps or disappointments without knowing that if they shine brightly enough, the light will dispel the shadows. --Lawrence Brotherton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
