Expo
Today I went out in the GF Strong van to teh Abilities Expo at which many groups displayed how things could be adapted so people with disabilities can do more activities. I had already been exposed as at GF Stron a speaker had told how he went on the Westcoast Trail. Many of the poeple are volunteers and their aim is to enable people who are wheelchair bound to do more. Please pray that I will not be too proud to accept the aid offered by these groups. I saw a specially adapted poncho that covers the wheelchair as well as the person and has a removeable fleece lining. That was just one of many things that caught my attention!

Hi John, Pride does sometimes stand in our way to accept help of any kind....
ReplyDeleteI have a friend in the city who in her 50's came down with a debilitating illness and the last thing she wanted was help...It took a while for her to finally accept any kind of assistance... She was active, strong and independent and it was difficult for her.
When she finally realized help was what she needed to get her through her day, wow...she ran with it!! So John, these groups are here to help and they do it with love and understanding to get you through with what you need..
We pray God will give you an understanding heart to accept the aid these groups are offering...
LOL to you and Laverne...:)
