BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that statement over the past 5 years. Apparently, when you are handicapped and/or need help, you are not allowed to convey to those who come to help you your preferences. If you do, you are then labeled ungrateful, unthankful, difficult, and too demanding.
SHAME ON YOU! How dare you say to any person in need, “beggars can’t be choosers?”
I am so glad that I’m saved!!!
I had to put that in there just now because I wanted to say something else.

I never thought that the day would ever come when I would say that I am handicapped, but I am. However, I also never thought the day would come that if I were handicapped, I would be treated like useless matter.

What’s wrong with saying, you know I prefer that you wash the clothes and let the first load dry almost completely before washing another load. That way, the other load sitting in the washer won’t lose its freshness. That’s not such a tall order considering my washer and dryer is about 20 years old and still kicking, but, it’s kicking slowly. It usually takes 3 runs in the dryer before a full load is finished. So, if you put another load to wash in the washing machine at the start of the 3rd drying load, then both the 3rd drying load and the wash will end about the same time. Is that such a demanding request?

Also, when you come to help someone and they ask you to please wash your hands before you fix food for the family, and to wash your hands before unloading the clean dishes from the dishwasher, what’s the problem? Why must one be labeled an obsessive-compulsive person?

I’ll answer all of those questions with this profound statement, “THEY DON’T WON’T TO BE THERE.”

When you go to help someone, handicapped or whatever the case may be, if you don’t want to help them ‘WHOLE-HEARTEDLY’, then do us all a favor and don’t come.

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve gone to retrieve a cup or dish from the cupboard after my help has left, and couldn’t find it. Why, because when someone does not render the service of help with a whole heart, then they don’t give good service, period. Whether something should go here or there is irrelevant. When you put up someone’s dishes and you don’t care about putting that plastic cup in a cupboard filled with glasses, its just like saying to the recipient, you are not important enough to me for the correct placement of your dishes to matter. It should matter. It should.

We ask for help because we need the help, but, if you don’t want to serve as a proud soldier would, then don’t.

THINK ABOUT IT!!!!
