T...Thank you John for sharing your writing with us. This piece was both lovely and thought provoking. There are many types of "blindness" that people suffer with.<br /><br />Spiritual blindness is one of the most devastating....to KNOW what you yearn for exists, yet never being able to find it is. I can't help but wonder why the<br />Almighty allows His children who love and yearn for Him to remain in the dark when all they want is His love.<br /><br />On the other hand, as one who had a spiritual experience several years ago, I understand too the blind man's plight.<br /><br />When his eyesight was restored, he rushed to tell everyone thinking they would share in his jubilation, only to learn they did not and that THEY were the truly<br />blind ones, completely unable to even comprehend what a profound miracle had just occurred!<br /><br />Since it's occurrence, I've tried not to discuss my experience with most because when I do I only get strange looks or awkward silence. It's too deep and personal to allow others to shame it like that...so I simply don't talk about<br />it.<br /><br />Again thank you John! I'm sure your fellow congregants were moved by it as well. The end of the story was particularly sweet...despite being<br />excommunicated the man still felt overwhelming joy because his love for the Man of God standing with him was more than all the earthly people, conditions and things wrapped together. What could be sweeter?<br /><br />JennyJenny Eisenbergnoreply@blogger.com
