i met a man today without limbs. he literally has no arms and no legs.and as cliche as it sounds, it was honestly a really sobering experience. he rejoiced in what he could do, not what he couldn't. he wasn't mechanical, he was genuine. albeit the main purpose of the service was to bring people to salvation, he really showed the strength and determination that one has when one is fully trusting in God. nick vujicic has a great sense of humour and is extremely friendly. he says he has a "hug ministry", and that "if you're shy, its okay, cos he won't lay a hand on you". and then you quickly realise, this man has no hands. he isn't afraid that he would look bad, he is really more interested in showing others, to the best of his ability, that admist his handicap, he was joyful. joy is an inexplicable emotion. its not that you don't feel depressed. it is when you do, you still have hope.
i actually wasn't looking forward to going for the service. i felt rushed. with the impending holiday, i don't have enough time with andrew as it is. but i think we're both glad we went for it. nick vujicic is really quite the motivational speaker. some would call that charisma. i think its being a good testimony.
