Who says people with disabilities can no longer know God?
Today I've encountered someone who actually moved me. After going to Caleruega with my family we went to Leslie's to have lunch and of course there's a long waiting list; while waiting I decided to bring out my bible and read. Upon reading through pages I noticed someone was looking at me; I saw a finger pointing right where I was reading and when I looked at the person standing in front of me... He was I guess a man of my age and he is disabled. From his appearance I can say that he has MR (Mental Retardation). I thought his attention was just captured because of the look of my "book" because mine doesn't really look like a bible from its external appearance; but no. He was able to recognize that it was a bible because he also has one :) He was actually holding one. But his was the large one and I noticed that we were both on the book of John.
Isn't it amazing? Imagine a person with disability can still know Him.
Even my mom said that "Siya may disability pero nagbabasa siya bible, daig niya pa kami"
Look how God works on people. Who says we can't learn from people with disabilities? Not because we are way ahead on skills doesn't mean we can't get anything from them. It is really heartwarming to see a person doing something to get to know Him better.
Just when I exactly needed something to get me out of my frustrations and worries... comes this person who touched my heart and it's like God is telling me not to worry and everything's going to be fine. Another inspiration and motivation. I love this field; I would like to help people. I would like to tell them they can do it even at the worst cases; I would like to be there in every improvements they'll have.
Lord, you are truly amazing :)
