A story is told about a Solider who was finally coming home after having fought in Jammu and Kashmir.he called his parents from Baramula(Jammu and Kashmir)."Mom and Dad" i'm coming home but i have fevor to ask.I have a friend i'd like to bring home with me."Sure" they replied "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know," the son countinued,"he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. he steeped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg.He has nowhere else to go,and i want to come live with us.
"I'm sorry to hear that.son.Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father."you don't know what you are asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a burden with us.We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfare with our lives. I think you should just come back home and forget about this guy.He 'll find a way to live onhis own."
At that point the son hung the phone. The parents heared nothing more from him.A few days later,however, they recieved call from the Delhi Police.Their son has died after falling from a buliding,they were told.The police belived it was an sucied.
The grief-stricken perents flew to Delhi and were taken to the city Palwal to identify the body of their son.They recognized him,but to their horror they also discoverd something they didn't know,their son had only one arm and one leg
Moral= The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvinience us or make us feel unconfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully,there's someone who loves us unconditional love that welcomes us into a forever family,regardless of how messed up we are.Tonight,before you tuck yourself in for the night,say a little prayer that God will give you strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more understanding of those who are different from us!
