Sometimes when Christians with Disabilities complain about the non-acceptance of non-disabled Christians they are met with the almost an attitude of why. People with disabilties desire companionship, friends, fun just like everyone else!.
As someone who has a disability I know what its like….. people have full time jobs, spouses, kids, and sleep. But sometimes I wonder if it would be possible if people would be considering spending an hour or two a week with someone that has a disability at their church. Consider taking them for a movie, out to eat, or something you would do with any of your other friends. Recently one of my pastors took a another disabled individual to the bar to watch a band this person loved play.
But They Are So Shallow….
But disabled people are so shallow and spend the whole time talking about their lives, their problems and their drama. Well grow up – wouldent you be doing the same thing if you had no friends too? People often need friends to help them get through difficult things in life – and believe it or not disabled people are people too!
The church and christians need to consider treating disabled people more like people, not like a mop that needs to be put in the back closet during church service. While people need to be more patient with people that have disabilities, love is patient. So the question is do you love people or not?
