Everybody Is Not Blind

Posted on Nov 30, 2018 in Uncategorized |

In his book, Lord, It Has Been One of Those Days, Bob Brown tells of a pastor who visited an elderly blind lady who was a member of his church. It was during the Christmas season, and he noticed that the Christmas tree in her house was brightly decorated with lights and ornaments. He said to her, “Do you do this every year?”

“Yes,” she replied, “this is one of the big things I do. I always look forward to it. My nephew always goes out and gets a Christmas tree, then together we get the Christmas decorations and decorate the tree.”

The pastor thought to himself, A blind woman with a brightly lighted Christmas tree?

He then indicated to her that he did not want to be offensive, but he could not quite understand why a blind woman would want to have a brightly decorated tree and lights in the window.
