None of us can become fully ourselves with zero dependence. Needing friendship and community is no different than needing God.Barbara Frymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314675308924356976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798627937852275898.post-35224319900209050312013-10-26T16:15:10.544-04:002013-10-26T16:15:10.544-04:00I have never understood comments about a crutch, a...I have never understood comments about a crutch, as if that were a negative thing. When I was a teenager, I had terribly weak ankles and could roll or sprain one just stepping off a curb wrong. My crutches were used regularly, and often were the only way I could keep going. They took some of the pressure off so I could heal, and they held me up when I couldn't stand or walk on my own. <br /><br />It does sound a little like faith on those days when things are tough, but they never made me feel weak for using them. <br /><br />I love the stories of your family adventures, and your attitude always lifts me up. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your life!Quiltin Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680512906241219875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798627937852275898.post-87151605012158040502013-10-25T21:27:57.799-04:002013-10-25T21:27:57.799-04:00I hope Blogger lets me comment because my heart al...I hope Blogger lets me comment because my heart always skips when I find another parent of a genetically "enhanced" little girl. :) We also are blessed to have our daughter primarily in a regular classroom. They are such a witness to the other kids! I am just waiting for the day when someone says something horrible like what you described in #3 to me. We've been so lucky never to have experienced that. Except online, of course. :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
