Special Needs

How do I see, what is my experience, how is it different from that of others?

Questions like this tell me how utterly important sticking to my own inventory really is. "Dear God how I need you when I think of how difficult communication really is and how unproductive our theories and systems really are when applied to other than the author of them. How hurting a statement of innocence can be to another with different perspective and therefore a completely different view of it. May we be careful in the choosing of our words and statements!"

I find as I look deeper into myself (take inventory) I must pay special attention to those I am interacting with. This work sometimes causes emotional strain and any contact will take a piece of it away with them when in contact with me

God takes inventory too. How do I look? Will these thoughts help me to THINK before acting. From here on, it is comforting, just to know of the extra effort I plan to put into my behaviour. I know it will always affect everyone around me.

My lesson as I take stock of me this year is clearly-"pay great attention Scot, to the special needs of all your contacts as you interact with them. Do a thorough inventory that you may know who it is you bring to the meeting and ever remember the vast difference in perspective of every unique soul. Do not judge but simply respect and accept all, in the knowledge that God has a perfect plan for each and everyone of us and each of us simply plays his/her part perfectly. There are no mistakes in God's plan!

PRAY PRAY PRAY AWAY THE DAY OR ACCEPT THAT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW DIFFERENT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WITH SPIRITUAL HELP!
