A politician once said, "The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life...the children; those who are in the twilight of life...the elderly; and those who are in the shadow of life...the sick...the needy...and the disabled." I believe this is the moral test of a church as well.
This afternoon, as our church's disability awareness leader, I was looking on the internet for information about several disabilities and trying to plan how our church can recognize and even celebrate those in our church who are in the throes of challenges that we often don't even know exist.
Another quote I found quite revealing was "The biggest barriers people with disabilities encounter are other people." I pray that, as Christians, we can help our fellow church members climb their barriers, instead of being one. Love and compassion that comes from God can make that climb possible.
