This afternoon I went to NCPD - National Centre for Persons with Disabilities with Kerri for the first time. The Centre was hosting a "Tea by the Sea" event. I went with no expectations (well...I was hoping to win a door prize) and I enjoyed myself. Actually, it was my first taste of Christmas :)
Apart from the entertainment, I was amazed to see so many persons with disabilities and somehow my heart warmed to see that they were able to come together in a safe environment to enjoy themselves. I looked on and felt priviledged to be among the company of so many special and precious people. It was a different experience. One that is not easily forgotten. How could one not feel humbled and grateful?
he remembers that we are dust
As for man, his days are like grass,
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more"
Psalm 103:14-16
Aren't we all formed from dust? Isn't our days upon the earth short? So why waste time segregating ourselves from people who are different? Why waste time highlighting our differences whether in terms of race, class, education or abilities? Makes no sense! Didn't God made us all from the dust of the earth? He knows our frame. It's time we too know our frame. It's time we recognise that we are all dust.
