No matter what your limitations are, you can always serve those who need help in the spirit of Psalm 41.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Psalm 41, says, “How blessed is he who considers the helpless.” You know that describes me shortly after I married my husband, Ken. I was helpless to iron shirts or whip up dinner. As a quadriplegic, I needed assistance. And who would have thought that help would arrive through the gracious service of other helpless people – like Diane and Connie from our church. Diane had multiple sclerosis and used a wheelchair and Connie, struggling with arthritis, was her faithful attendant. They loved finding ways to serve others, including me. And since they lived close to my neighborhood, once a week they would drive by my house, and leave a homecooked dish on the front porch. What’s amazing is, Connie and Diane needed as much help as I did. Which just goes to show that no matter what your limitations, you can always serve those who need help in the spirit of Psalm 41.
