Beauty All Around
There is beauty all around. But we usually don't notice it. . Life gets busy, our minds get distracted, and sometimes we become so focused on our problems that we stop seeing the good around us. Look again today. God has filled His creation—and your life—with beautiful things to enjoy. You just gotta look. 💎 ✨Click to read the full devotional -
No, you're not a bad PERSON for having been rude to a disabled person or people before.
But the BEHAVIOURS can be bad.Yes, the assumption of "knowing" someone else's intent (often negative, from experience) hurts people.
Disabled people get that a lot. Ask me how I know. Yes, disabled people do it to each other too. Almost like we're also human individuals or something. 🙀

No, not everyone else wants to "just learn English".
Should they have to anyway, just because it'd be easier for *you*?
Would you like to learn Portuguese, Swahili, or Hindi? Many people speak those languages too.Except try learning when you can't hear other speakers very well, and it's tonal, and people assume you're being rude EVERY single time you make an honest mistake.
