My Community: Care for the weak
A strange paradox takes place when people become caregivers to special needs people. If you didn’t know the families, you would think that a child with Down syndrome or spina bifida or cerebral palsy would be a terrible burden. You’d think that it would be a terrible curse to be stuck with that care responsibility.
Actually the reverse occurs. The family is ennobled and lifted up by learning how to be servants. Family members find that the joy of helping someone, especially someone who is weaker, provides much more lasting satisfaction than playing video games and watching TV.
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress” (James 1:27). We all crave significance. What could be more significant than living our lives the way Jesus lived his--bringing benefit to the lives of other people?
