[Faith-talk] blindness as a gift

[Linda Mentink]

Hi Aleeha and all,

I don't think blindness is a gift, but I believe that God is 
sovereign. I'm blind because He wills it. He knows what's best for 
me, and it's up to me to accept it, and rely on Him and others when 
I'm weak, or need assistance.

Blessings,

Linda
