[Faith-talk] praying question

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Thanks.
I'm always very surprised when I'm at a restaurant or store or 
something and a sighted person comes up to me to ask about my 
blindness.  Personally, I feel that that takes some guts.  I 
mean, if I was the sighted person and I saw someone who was 
blind, I would be kind of afraid to approach them and think to 
myself: Should I talk to that blind person or not? Should I 
disrupt the conversation with his family? What if he's mean to 
me?
But then again I suppose that they have never met a blind person 
before and this could be their one and only opportunity, so 
they'll just go for it.

I'm not sure, but it's always seemed as though they feel sorry 
fora us
and want us to see.  they don't stop to think that god has his 
reasons
and will work everything out for good or that we're just in a 
fallen
world and things just happen here.  i've had people tell me, i'm 
sorry
you are blind or, that's horrible and i'd say, why,? this is how 
god
wants me to be.  nothing horrible about it.

 Hi,
 I'm sure that because we are all blind a lot of you have had 
this
 happen, but have you ever had someone tell you that they'll pray
 for you because you are blind?
 Are they trying to pray for your happiness, or are they praying
 that we would be able to see? (I'm talking about random 
strangers
 who notice you are blind and will come up to you)
 I'm interested in your take on this.
