there are still kind hearted people around as shown by their acts... strangers who understand... others judge you and think that you did something wrong that caused this unfortunate incident to happen to your family but it is very far from that. i am a nurse, i never took any medications, i never did any untoward things to jeopardize michael's health. still he was born autistic, non verbal and with seizures. we do not know why things happen, we can only hope for God's grace to see us through. kind words and kind gestures from strangers meant so much. no one will ever know the pain and the suffering that we families with special children endure and go through each day. no one can tell how we wake up each day praying that our children with seizures are safe after each episodes. no one will ever know the tragedy that our family have to live through each passing day. no one will ever know except those who are in our shoes. those who are on the same predicament as we are in. but what adds to the pain is when people blame you and put your family down with unkind words that you could hear. the condemning words from unkind people that you personally knew. it adds to the hurt that we are already feeling. but again we are only humans not the divine. we become insensitive to the feelings of others. so that explains that. and i may also turn the table to say that it takes a special person to see beyond, to walk that extra mile to understand us. these are the holy people touched by God. instead of condemnation and disgust they offer their love and understanding for us. we can't thank them enough. it is the same thing with those people who persecutes you on how you practice your religion. they are uncaring, insensitive and unloving but we understand. we will pray for the day that they will be counted as Godly human beings if not soon, in the future. it is not too late to practice charity, to show love and care to special kids and their families. it is not too late for we are still alive to pause, to dig deeper into our innermost souls for that compassion that is hard to come by nowadays. let's hope that it will happen and that it is not too late, yet. change of attitude is after all can be done by us. change of how we perceive others in the practice of their faith. acceptance without condemnation, live and let live, do unto others what you would want others do unto you. bring sunshine to others, bring hope to the hopeless. encourage and bring cheers to others who carry their cross... it will certainly lighten up our load...(^&*)...
crosses come to test our faith in God. Jesus accepted His Father's calling. we are called in some form of sacrifices in our lives. some carry them well. others are overwhelmed. while others try to get the best out from what they've been given. i am one of these people. i try to carry the share of the cross of Jesus the best way that i can. on my way i met different kinds of people. on my way i've seen the worst and the best in people. over all i put it all to God to take care of them, both the bad and the good, the devils and the angels. for if we respond devil for devil we are doomed. if we give kindness to the heartless it will save us from hell. our world would be a better place for we then had created are own paradise on earth... in spite of everything that life has to offer. life is but once and short at that. it would be wiser to fill it with joy and laughter... we can try, i do for sure...
