Hellooooo fellow bloggers and blog lovers!
So, I am starting a new class that requires me to post
weekly entries on what I have learned. The class is a special education class
and focuses on these exceptional students.
This past week I watched a few conference talks that spoke
on loving everyone as God’s children no matter their handicap. The talks
focused on acceptance and love. I loved these talks! The main points that I gathered
from these talks were:
- Afflictions can come to anyone
- Never ridicule
- Perceptions and assumptions can ruin chances
- Mortal life is temporary and, measured against eternity, infinitesimally
- Always have hope for the lost; those who are different, weary, and have strayed
- Treat everyone with respect and honor
A quote that really hit me from the talks was, “Sometimes
those who start out the slowest end up going the furthest.” This quote really
hit me because sometimes things in life don’t happen when you want them too.
Sometimes road blocks get in the way and block you or someone you love with a
huge struggle or barrier, but even if things in your life don’t go according to
plan, there can still be joy in the journey. Even if your car breaks down and
you have to walk the path, making it feel achingly slow, you’ll still get
there. Even with a disability slowing you down, whether physical or mental, you
can still make a life for yourself and end up going further then you ever could
have imagined.
I hope everyone has a great week!!
