A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after
having
fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.
"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've got a favor to ask. I have a
friend
I'd like to bring with me."
"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was hurt
pretty
badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land-mine and lost an arm and a
leg.
He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to
live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us. Forever."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone
with
such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own
lives
to
live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I
think
you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way
to
live on his own."
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing
more
from him.
A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco
police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were
told.
The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to
San
Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of
their
son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered
something
they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.
The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love
those
who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people
who
inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay
away
from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are.
Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who
loves
us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever
family,
regardless of how messed up we are.
Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little
prayer
that
God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are,
and
to help us all be more understanding of those who are different from
us!!! (Credits: found on the Internet)
