[Faith-talk] being healed from blindness

[Rob Kaiser]

I sing in my church choir here at First United Methodist Church of Orange in
Socal. Every Thursday night and Sunday morning, usually one of the choir
members picks me and sometimes on Sundays my nine-year-old daughter and
makes sure we get to church. Although it is difficult to find someone to
help me when I need rides to emergency doctor's appointments ETC. usually, I
can get help for other church functions such as our caroling for the
shuttins that we did just the other Sunday afternoon.

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.
