I was not sent to help you Marlene, you were sent to help me. However you cannot help me Marlene, unless I lift you up first higher and higher.
Too beautiful of a person Marlene, did I ever tell you about Emma, a little four-year-old girl that I met while doing volunteer work at Crippled Children's Hospital in 1970?
Emma was
born without arms and legs. The Thalidomide babies were born. Women took a morning sickness drug before it was officially approved by the Food and Drug administration.
The babies were brought to Crippled Children's hospitals all across America. The therapist made a leather bucket for
Emma to sit in. The bucket was attached to an eighteen by eighteen inch board with casters on all corners. Emma would wiggle her torso back and fourth to propel herself forward down the halls of the Hospital.
Emma wore pink barrettes in her pigtail hair. She had a diaper on and wore a
white T shirt with a bunny rabbit on it.
I was doing volunteer work and they put me with all boys in a room. The boys all had serious birth disabilities. I will try to make the story much shorter than it is.
What important messages will come out of Mike's story, ? Let's find out: http://motivateus.com/stories/lift-people-up.htm
If you carry love in your heart every day, love will come back to you.
May love and blessings be yours to share today,
Marlene
