Beatitudes for Special People

BLESSED ARE YOU who help us with the graciousness of Christ, for often we need the help we cannot ask for.

BLESSED ARE YOU when, by all things, you assure us that what makes us individuals is not our particular disability or difficulty but our beautiful God-given personhood which no handicapping condition can confine.

REJOICE AND BE EXCEEDINGLY GLAD for your understanding and love have opened doors for us to enjoy life to its full and you have helped us believe in ourselves as valued and gifted people.

Attributed to Rabbi Lionel Blue; read more here. But after a little more checking (6/23/10), I've learned it may be attributable to Marjorie Chappell or Robert Perske. Still checking.
