Stare 
Pray For More Compassionate People (In His Love)
|
Dear friend, we are all guilty of doing that. I am one such person. But I am no less compassionate than others. We all like to stare, something very natural about this. We stare at disabled people, we also stared at abled people. When a young man holds the hand of an older woman, we stare to see if they are lovey-dovey...then we make sarcastic remarks at them. The problem lies with education and acceptance from young. As a child, my parents never taught me that its rude to stare at disabled people. It never cross their minds that it hurts their feelings. But after watching "Extraordinary People" on TV, my mom teaches our daughters that it is rude to stare at people. When I almost gave birth to a deform baby or what the westerners called a FREAK, I learnt this very important lesson about disabled people. I learnt about their sensitiveness and their feelings. But God changed His mind and gave me an abled bodied child, I swear that I will teach everyone I know about not staring..that includes my hubby. We still stare or look...not to make remarks at them..but to see if they needed us to help them. And we do not stare straight in the eye of the person, but at a distance and making sure the person didn't see us looking at him/her. Then we said a prayer for this person. In everything, we learn to give Thanks. And with that, God blesses us and our lives. My girls, they don't stare at people abled or otherwise. They offered themselves to help others who are disabled. In turn, it breeds love and acceptance. We need to educate our young...for they are the next generation. God bless you Gina |
