THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM A BLIND MAN (PART TWO)

Yesterday I talked about watching some episodes of a competition on T.V.
There were twelve teams, each team consisting of 3 people, that competed in both physical and mental challenges in Morocco.

I mentioned one team called "No Limits". The team consists of 3 men and one of them is blind. One of the other men in his guide.

Yesterday, I talked about one instance where I learned something from this blind man. Today, I wish to tell you of the second thing I learned from this man.

During one part of the competition, they had to kayak down the river to their next destination. The guide was in a kayak in front, the blind man in the middle, and the other man behind. The kayaks were not connect by ropes or anything. The blind man had to rely upon his guide to tell him where to go in order to avoid the rocks. The blind man stated that the water from the rapids was so loud that he couldn't hear his guide, so, he is going down this river both blind and deaf. At one point, his kayak tips over. The guide cannot help him, all he can do is encourage the man to get back in the boat and keep going and the blind man does this.

Sometimes, when we are going down the river of life we cannot see or hear our guide and the rivers of life may cause our boat to tip over, but God is there encouraging us to get back in the boat and keep going. Don't stop!

Next week, Lord willing, I will tell about the third thing I learned from this blind man.

God Bless,
