This summer I worked at a camp for children and youth with disabilities. It was my second summer working. During staff training a devotional was given and the person who was speaking said that working with children with disabilities is unsafe.
After two summers, I am learning that it is indeed unsafe, but in a good way. It is an adventure. Each camper that I have worked with is different--each camper has taught me something. Working with people with disabiltiies has taken me out of my comfort zone, and I am so thankful for it.
Christ calls us to take up the cross, and this is unsafe. Working with people with disabilities has turned me into a better servant of Christ and is a reflection of how we are supposed to take up the cross daily.
