Aimee writes a spiritual post about people with disabilities and God's love.

She writes about Bruce, who has a cognitive disability, after he comes out of an institution to live in the community:

"Bruce spent the first half of his life in an institution, and I asked him one time what it was like. He told me stories, in his simple, innocent way, that I cannot reproduce here. He also told me that when he first came out, he was terrified, because he had never been out in the world before, and didn’t know what to do or how to act, found all the noise and activity confusing and terrifying.

But now, he found it a joy, and loved living every day. He always spoke with joy and love of his ability to live in the world, have a job, be around people, and have friends. And it showed – he was a joy to be around."

What a gift to find a post that highlights what people with disabilities can bring to the community rather than one that complains about accommodating them! Thank you Aimee.
