Limitations Didn’t Restrict Success

I once heard about a man who had been stricken with rheumatoid arthritis at age 15. Thirty years later, he was totally paralyzed except for one finger, could barely speak and was totally blind. But he had a string tied to that one mobile finger that could turn on a recorder. He wrote for national magazines, authored books and led a happy and influential life from his bed. This was possible because after initial prayers brought no healing, he accepted his lot graciously and said, “Well Lord! If this is the size plot in life you’ve staked out for me, let’s you and me together show the world what we can grow on it.” He achieved a happier and more useful life within the limitations of very restricted circumstances than most people ever will manage with excellent physical health.
