Hidden Gifts

Do you feel sorry for Hellen Keller?  She was blind and deaf from a childhood fever.  She got help and did not wallow in her situation, the cards that were dealt her.  She did not feel sorry for herself.  She was led to discover how words, not heard or seen, awakened her soul.  She believed she had an inner spiritual life.  In the darkness of her blindness she was not distracted from seeing the Light, her God of love.  No TV or video to distract her.  In the silence of her deafness, she could better hear the still, small voice of God.  So if you have some problems that are not going to go away, maybe a different perspective is in order.  An alcoholic will always be one, but they can do something about that.  Today, I will not feel sorry for myself.  Too many possibilities are before me.
