Blessed are you who take time to listen to difficult speech, for you help us to know that if we persevere we can be understood.
Blessed are you who walk with us in public places and ignore the stares of strangers, for in your companionship we find havens of relaxation.
Blessed are you who never bid us to hurry up, and more blessed are you for you do not snatch our tasks from our hands to do them for us, for often we need time rather than help.
Blessed are you who stand behind us as we enter new and untried ventures, for our failures will be outweighed by the times when we surprise ourselves and you, too.
Blessed are you who ask for our help, for our greatest need is to be needed.
Blessed are you who help us with the graciousness of Christ, who did not bruise the reed and quench the flax, for often we need the help we cannot ask for.
Blessed are you, when, by all these things you assure us that the thing that makes an individual is not in our peculiar muscles, nor in our wounded nervous systems, nor in our difficulties in learning, but in God-given self which no infirmity can confine.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and know that you give us reassurance that could never be spoken in words, for you deal with us as Christ dealt with all His children.
