After grocery store, I headed to my car & saw a man getting off his motorbike (blocking my car). So I gave a light smile nod to hint him that I'm exiting.
Realizing the man has burnt scars over his face &hand, in his very slow motion trying to get back on his bike &then relocate forward the bike. I felt bad &said sorry.
Starting the engine, I secretly observed him. He was grabbing the cars for support then paused. I off the engine, got out & stretched out my forearm. He looked at me &immediately hold my hand. He was then guided to go up a 1-step staircase then he let go of my hand &with a course voice I heard 'thank you'

I learned 1 thing, on becoming a better human guide. Whether it's guiding a blind man, elderly, or walking-disordered person, STRETCHING OUT YOUR FOREARM can be a good hand grip support for them.
DON'T grab their hands &take them walk. They may not want to go YOUR direction.
Let them hold on to ur forearm instead. So they may have flexibility in their posturing.
For the blind, I usually ask their permission first. If walking on traffic street, I'd direct their hand to hold to my forearm, &let them know when reached the destination.
They, are bold. They learned how to survive better than us.
I felt something was missing in me when I went to work yesterday, & I've been thinking about a symbolic act I did on Good Friday night.
I tore off the paper where I wrote out the pains, disappointments, fear &past hurts that was haunting me &depressing me. These were the weighs that I felt missing in me. & I thank God for removing those negativity in me.
And just now, I was reminded that 7 times more powerful of those negativity could come back if I'm not careful enough. And what I feed into my mind is important.
Good Friday (3days before Easter), is a day to remember that a Savior has come &gave Himself as an atonement for mankind's sins, that we can come to the presence of God without a priest, without having to sacrifice animal's blood, &access to Him from anywhere.
Jesus came to save the lost, that they may have life in all its fullest! Through the work finished on the cross, we can receive acceptance, healing, victory &restoration through Christ!]
-You don't have to go through alone. There's Someone Higher u can hold on to-
