[Faith-talk] blindness as a gift

[Maureen Pranghofer]

Hi Aleeha
I'm so glad you crawled out of your hole.  I've had many people tell me that 
as well.  I disagree.  If blindness were a gift Jesus wouldn't be healing 
people and taking it away.  I think the gift is when we show the light and 
the overcoming power of Jesus when through His grace we show people our 
love, joy, patience, and gladness in the Lord despite being blind.  Just my 
2 cents.

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...
