Love Your Best

Jean Vanier founded a ministry to live and work with people who had developmental disabilities.  Did he cure them? No.  Did he help them to live on their own? No.  So what did he do?  That question begs for results.  Vanier was not into doing extraordinary things.  He did not raise the dead or cure the sick.  His goal was to do the ordinary but do it with extraordinary love.  If one can do that, then there is a healing.  Extraordinary love heals, at least in the one doing the loving.  Many people suffer always or from time to time from the developmental disability to love selflessly.  I have my moments.  Vanier challenges me to get up and try again.
