[Faith-talk] blindness as a gift

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hi All,
      I don't often post here, but I figured I'd crawl out from under my 
lurking rock and start this thread. I was speaking with someone last 
night who made a very interesting point to me. Our blindness is such an 
extraordinary gift. It gives us opportunities to share our faith with 
others that many don't have. We can lift others up and relate to others 
in a way sighted folks cannot. Our strength and our belief that we are 
given lives worth living that can be full and productive is such a great 
platform from which to share our stories and our faith. Just thought I'd 
get others' opinions on this one.
And now, back under my rock I go...
