[Faith-talk] being healed from blindness

[Paul]

I've an answer to this problem about the church pitying us because of our 
blindness, and I read this statement many years ago in a book about blind 
welfare from the RNIB.  The main reason, as I and the author of the book see 
it, is that there is yet no practical substitution to the human eye.  For 
some deaf and hard of hearing people there is the cochlear implant and for 
people who have lost limbs or arms there are artificial ones which, although 
naturally not like the originals in their totality, nevertheless work to 
some extent.  Unfortunately even in my church, even though they don't pity 
me, no one will invite me over to their place for a meal and some good 
conversation.  This happened after our Thanksgiving Day service, and I pray 
it won't happen after Christmas Day services either.  Hope that was an 
adequate explanation.  Paul
