"I'm sorry to hear that, son, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."

"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to be with us."

"Son," the father said, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap will be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we are in our lives like this Can't interfere. I think you should come home and forget this man. He will find a way to live on his own. "

Moral: Parents are like many of us in this story. We find it easy to love people who are good-looking or fun to be around, but we don't like people who make us uncomfortable or make us feel uncomfortable. We will stay away from people who are not as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there is someone who does not treat us like that. Someone who loves us unconditionally who welcomes us in the family forever, no matter how messed up we are. Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, make a small prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and we all need more of those people Help to understand who are different from us!
