Blind as a bat for a couple of days!

Annie Finnegan is coming this morning to start the three drops a day deal and I think I will be out of commission for a couple of days.  So I better write early this morning.   I think of two people this morning  --Sunday--my mom who was virtually blind by the end of her life as well as deaf and her words, "For I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content!   More Bible words I wish I had taken as my own!

And then the story of Blind Bartimaeus from the Bible.  Here he was, blind , and depended on his friends to take him everywhere.  He saw Jesus walking with a crowd and called out to him, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."   Jesus stopped and healed him.    This is such a simple story but it was a man, who had nothing to lose and everything to gain by following Christ.

That is true of all of us.
