[Faith-talk] being healed from blindness

[Poppa Bear]

This is all diffirent for me and sounds a little odd because in my case I am 
usually the care taker for those around me, I invite those who have less 
over for dinner, xmas, and Thanksgiving. We end up being a small refuge for 
quite a few families and have a couple give and take open door relationships 
with members of my Church. I have a gentlemen  who is faithful as a 
grandfather clock to call me every friday to see if I want to go to the mens 
breakfast and pick me up bright and early every time. Another lady picks up 
my girls every morning to take them to the Christian school. The thing is 
that our Pastor really drives home the point of living out active Christian 
lives that consist of faithful Christian service that leads to great 
oppertunities to love and bless others and as people start to listen to his 
preaching from the word they find that the truth that "it is better to give 
then to receive" is a faithful and tru promis. Never the less I am sure that 
there are plenty of broken and lonely hearts in my Church just dying for a 
closer relationship with somebody in the body.
