Seeing the Dignity in Another

Mike Huddleston was at a Maryland airport when he took a fall and, because of a degenerative neuromuscular condition, couldn’t get up. Then a young man came to his aid. He asked, “What can I do to help?" Then he helped Mike to his feet. The  moment struck Mike, not just because of the kindness, but also because the fellow asked the question. “I felt less helpless, less vulnerable because of his question. I will never forget."
“What God loves, do not deem unworthy of love. What God has animated with His own breath, do not treat with anything less than dignity.” – Nadia Bolz-Weber, Shame-Less
Affirmative prayer: I celebrate the expression of love and caring in everyone. I give thanks that all beings are held in Divine grace, endowed with goodness, dignity, and wholeness. Thank you, forever. Amen.
