Went to Church dedication service this morning, was really good! The speaker was really good, it was great to see God working in him and speaking to us through him!! He told us a story based on someone's past experience...it was so...yeah. ill blog it as best i can...it won't be word for word for what he said though...hehe names are made up by me for one!



A 34-year old lady called Susie...she's really pretty, with a good stable job, and everything was going really well for her until one day a doctor made an incorrect diagnosis and she became blind as a result.

For her (as with most people i reckon) becoming blind was like the end of the world for her. All her days from then on were lived in darkness. Because she couldn't see, she couldn't go to work, she couldn't take part in her community activities, and she could no longer play sports. There were so many things she wasn't able to do anymore as a result of her blindness.

Susie had a really loving and supportive husband who stuck by her, never failing to encourage her. No matter how busy he was, he always had time for her, and continued to build her up. After a few months, Susie gradually emerged from her own little world of darkness, and began to discover new meaning and purpose for her life.

She wanted to return to work....by how? She's blind and cannot get to and from work by herself. It wouldn't be possible. However, her husband was really supportive, and drove her to work each morning, leading her up the steps and into her office, not leaving until she had settled in. Each day after work he would be there leading her down those steps, into the car, and into their home.

Her husband, however, was a military man, and soon both of them realised that he cannot afford to keep this up, driving her to work and turning up late...leaving work early to go pick her up. So after another month, she started to catch a bus. The first few weeks her husband caught the bus with her to work, and caught the same bus as she did when she returned home.

As she built up some confidence, her husband told her that it was time for her to do it by herself. She was afraid despite having become familiar with travelling on the bus and with the bus drivers. But she knew that her husband had his work to worry about. So from then on, each morning she would walk out to the bus stop with her husband, who would kiss her goodbye before she got onto the bus to work. And each day her husband would be waiting at the bus stop for her when she returned home. Gradually she continued building up confidence and self-esteem again.

One afternoon, the bus driver told her how she really admired her, and was envious of her. Susie was surprised...why would anyone be envious of her? She was blind! She couldn't see anything! The bus driver told her: "I'm envious of you because you have such a wonderful, handsome man with you every step of the way. He kisses you goodbye, but every morning he catches this bus and sits there behind you. And every afternoon he accompanies you home".

Her husband was always with her, protecting her, looking after her, even though she was blind and had no idea. In the same way God looks after us and is right there travelling with us through life despite our blindness and rebellion. His presence is eternally there with us on our walk (the phrase sounds better in canto =P "wing yuen tong hung" hehe).
