Temporarily Enabled

Okay, so I was eavesdropping! I overheard one woman talking to two others and using the term, “temporarily enabled” as opposed to disabled. One of the others mentioned how wonderful it is that God makes each of us special in different ways. I joined in the conversation a bit and agreed with both.

I am “temporarily enabled.” In most ways. My arthritis makes life difficult sometimes so I’m not completely enabled. For several years, OCD made life difficult in many ways. Isn’t that the way it is for all of us? God enables each of us to do what He has purposed us to do. At any point I might lose an ability. At this point, I’d be better suited for a different purpose. I think this is one of the ways God guides us.

And the other overheard comment about how God makes each of us special in different ways … how true! We all need to remind ourselves how special we are, about how God has a purpose for each of us, using the abilities and disabilities, however temporary they are.
