[Faith-talk] healing, blindness and other thoughts

[Poppa Bear]

Hello Debbie, for some reason I really feel your words and I will be praying
that you are able to have His peace and joy through all of your situations.
Sometimes the greatest enemies of our peace are the little termites of
monotony, unbelievable minor irritations, and then there are the big let
downs, fears of the unknown,  and unexpected waves of loneliness. Through
all of these sometimes mundane and sometimes fearful and painful paths we
walk, I hope that you, and all of us may feel His presence in our lives.

Well, I'm blind from birth as I  said the other day, and at this point in my
life don't want to change that.  But that doesn't mean that there isn't
struggle.  The world is geared for sighted folks, so no matter how good your
blindness skills are, there are definitely nuisance factors.  Every time I
move to a new house, have at a new job or whatever, ow have to get oriented
to that situation.  I have a lousy sense of direction.  So it takes me a
while to get used to new surroundings.  I'd love to be one of those people
who just learn their surroundings quickly and all that, but my brain just
doesn't compute that way.  I'll admit that sometimes blindness is tiresome.
Lol.  But then I shake myself off and say, well, what it is is what it is.
Right now I'm going through another such adjustment.  I was laid off on
Friday.  We knew that it was going to happen at some point, and thought that
it would be the end of October.  But it happened this last Friday.  I was
working away when I get a request to go to the conference room.  My heart
sank to the bottom of my feet, I swear.  I knew that something was happening
and it wasn't going to be good.  They told us that we were being let go and
that at the end of the day we should take our personal belongings.  So
that's that.  We may be asked back in a few months, but who knows? So now
for the slog to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing next.  Plus I'm
still grieving over not being there.  Thank God I have a new Seeing Eye dog
who needs my attention and needs work, because what I  feel like doing is
just staying in bed.  
And if I wasn't married I probably would have.  Having another person around
up and about is a spur to get my butt out of bed, 
too.    Debby and Neena
