Life lessons can also be learned in church – that’s what I leaned today 🙂

It’s 3: 59 PM on day 571 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to drink tea by myself, go to church for the Good Friday service,  prepare and  publish my Disability of the Day feature,   feed myself   Idli –   a south Indian savory cake popular throughout India – and Sambar – a dish common in South India and Sri Lankan Tamil cuisines, made of toor dal –  for breakfast, watch TV, feed myself an avocado  for lunch and watch some more TV.

Today at the Good Friday service our reverend explained the four things that the cross symbolizes #4 was with God everything is not what it appears to be which I could relate to  because sometimes when people look at me I can see the pity in their eyes they don’t know that I’m happy just the way I am, they don’t know that I see my “disability”  as a platform to change the world, they don’t know that I work to be a contributing member of society and yet they pity me.   What life lessons have you learned in church?
