Blessed Are You...

Beatitudes For Friends of People with Disabilities

Blessed are you who take the time to listen to difficult speech. For you help me know that if I persevere, I can be understood.

Blessed are you who never bid me to "hurry up" or take my tasks from me. For I need time, rather than help.

Blessed are you who stand beside me as I enter new and untried ventures. For my failures will be out-weighed by the times I surprise you and myself.

Blessed are you who ask for help, for my greatest need is to be needed.

Blessed are you who never remind me that today I asked the same question twice.

Blessed are you who respect me and love me just as I am.
