A friend of mine passed this on to me
from a magazine she gets called The Heartbeat of the Remnant, Sept/Oct 1997. Their address is 59 S Groffdale Rd. Leola, PA 17540-9533 1-800-227-7902
Sincerely, Rebecca Bennett, Lake Barringt on, IL.
I. Blessed are those who stop and listen to my chatter. You may not
understand me; but I love when people talk to me, for I long for
companionship, too.
II. Blessed are those who take my hand and walk with me when the path is
rough, for I easily stumble and grow weary. But thank you, too, for letting
me walk alone when the path is smooth, for I must learn independence.
III. Blessed are those who take the time to tell me about special
happenings, for unless you make special effort to inform me, I remain
ignorant.
IV. Blessed are those who wait for me. I may be slow, but I appreciate your
patience.
V. Blessed are those who are not ashamed to be seen in public with me, for I
did not choose to be born thus. It could have been you as well.
VI. Blessed are those who do not pity me, for I don't want pity. All I want
is understanding and respect for what I have learned as well.
VII. Blessed are those who notice my accomplishments, small as they may seem
to you. I must work long and hard to learn many of the things you take for
granted.
VIII. Blessed are those who include me in their games, even though I may not
understand the rules, I still like to be included in your activities.
IX. Blessed are those who think of me as a person who loves, and hurts, and eels joy and pain just like you do, for in that respect I am normal. |
