Today, we had a speaker talk to our school. She told us how careful we have to be with our bodies in cars, bicycle, and etc. You never know when there will be an accident in a car. She told us not to call them accidents because, would a drunk driver say to a family who he killed their daughter, "It was an accident. I'm sorry."
No. He had the choice to get drunk or not, a choice to go to that friend's home, a choice to go to that party. He had a choice to choose those type of friends. Is that an accident? Nope, not at any time is it an accident. The lady that talked to us told us that she was paralyzed from the waist down. She broke her vertebra in a car accident because she didn't have her seat belt on. That also caused her little sister to get killed from head trauma right next to her. The girl went to the hospital, being paralyzed all around. The only way to communicate was blinking; one blink for yes, two blinks for no. This showed me how fortunate we are to have our legs move, our eyes blinking, our fingers fiddling.
God gives us all of the fantastic abilities and we take them for granted. Have you ever seen anybody in a wheelchair? They can't go to the bathroom by themselves, they can't walk. Walking is such a great ability. I lets us run and kick and play too! we need to thank God for that! He gives us the ability to take pictures, to smile.
That one move of a finger to press that little button on a camera, some people can't do that. Some people have breathing disabilities. Some people won't live as long as us. Us as Christians need to not only help people without the abilities that we have, but thank and praise God for what he does for us.
God is AMAZING with what he does and just we need to rejoice that and use his abilities. He gave you your own special ability; NOBODY else has that and you need to show God through that ability. Please remember that. So... ya I guess what I'm trying toi say is we're SO fortunate with what we have and we cannot take that granted. Embrace it!!
