Feeling better every day! No lightheadedness!

Saw a blind man this morning walking his dog.  I've seen him a handful of times before and he is always friendly.  He is a sweet, gentle looking man.  His eyes are always wide open but they look black.  I usually say something before I get too close so he's not startled, but for some reason I didn't speak up first this morning.  As I approached, I nimbly pranced the outer edge of the path opposite his side and as I got within a few feet of him, he let out an enthusiastic "Good Morning!" with a smile like if he knew me.  I greeted him back and couldn't help but smile at his happiness.  He is BLIND yet completely and utterly stoked to be alive at 7 a.m. on a Saturday.  What would that be like to be completely blind?  Hard to imagine.  As I pranced off beyond him I suddenly felt overwhelmingly grateful for my eyes.  I'm grateful for my sight.

Welcome back to the world of regular blogging!

I have some thoughts on being blind. We all are. We do not remember our life before we were born and we do not see the multitude of spirits around us most of the time, and most of us never. Perhaps the Lord allows some people among us to be visually blind to help us remember that we are going through our life blindfolded as to the unseen world to see how well we do mostly on faith.
