Hear a sweet story of an intern in the past named Kelsie who was disabled. She felt included and loved – she finally felt like she wasn’t a burden.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. This past summer Joni and Friends hosted an amazing group of interns. Although they came from all over North America, it did not take long for them to form a genuine affection for each other. After only five days together they all went to the beach. Kelsie, one of the interns who uses a wheelchair, wished she had brought her old braces so that she, too, could wade into the water. Scarcely had she spoken when she found herself being lifted up and carried over the sand and into the water by her fellow interns. She said later, “Joni, it was so cool to not feel like I was a burden.” All the interns felt Kelsie was worth being included, no matter what it took. Romans 12:10 says, “Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.” I want to send you a copy of our Joni and Friends newsletter. So just go to joniradio.org.
