HANDICAPPED BUT NOT HINDERED
What does it mean to have a handicap? I looked it up and this is what it means:
Handicap-A condition so imposed, or to hinder or impede.
Impede- to stop the progress of, to hinder to obstruct.
Have you ever watched a handicapped person? We might see someone with one leg or no legs. One arm or no arms. Blind in one eye or no sight at all. Just to name a few. Have you ever noticed that no matter what the handicap, they learn how to work with what they do have? They are not hindered by what society calls a handicap. When you think about it they're not handicapped at all. Now let's look at our lives, we have all the activities of our limbs working. Yet we let circumstances hinder us. whether it's physical or material things. We tend to allow these things to hinder us. I am using my life experiences to get the message out to someone who might be going through something right now! I am reminded of a time when it seemed like everything I touched was falling apart in every area of my life. I became so discouraged, to the point of giving up. I began to pray my pity party prayers. God began to show me in the spirit a handicapped person. He made me see that when that handicap person has one leg, they make the other leg do the work of two legs. If they have no legs, they use their arms. You get the picture. I looked at my circumstances and felt I didn't have the right resources to do what I needed to do. God showed me no matter what the circumstances, use what you have! How many times in your life have you let things hinder you to the point of feeling like you are handicapped? Are we more handicapped than that person whom society calls handicapped? In this day I am going to take what I have and use it! I encourage you my sisters and brothers to do the same. DON'T GIVE UP! Take what you think is a handicap and use it. Don't let the attacks of this world hinder you. Read about blind Bartimaeus, His handicap did not hinder him from getting what he needed from Jesus. (Mark 10:46-52). Read about the widowed woman who took what she had and made it work. (2kings 4:1-7). Work it! Don't be hindered! TALK TO ME FRIENDS, ARE YOU IN A SITUATION NOW, OR HAVE YOU BEEN THERE? I pray that this has encouraged you today not to give up. God Bless From Sheree

Great post. To all the naysayers I mention Helen Keller. She was devoid of sight and sound yet learned to talk and write as well as bringing about braille. Stevie Wonder doesn't have sight but his music has painted beautiful portraits for decades. All it takes is one person to make all the difference in the world.
