Having Sight With No Vision

Click blue logo for more Christian quotes

β€œThe only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”

Helen Keller

This quote really hits home for me in so many ways. I spent 24 years of being fully sighted just feeling lost, empty, angry and wasting my selfish life, being pulled one way and the other, not caring who i hurt.

Then in 2004 after losing most of my sight, Jesus became the light of my world. “I was blind but now I see”. see my About Steve page…

Now with Jesus as my destination on my “Spiritual Sat Nav” I have Vision, purpose, worth, and directions to follow. πŸ™‚

How is your vision?

Love At First Sight Village! (10 Years On!!!)

Β Today i’m celebrating 10 years since i met my lovely wife Sarah at β€œSight Village, Birmingham” 

This is a major Sight Village show in Birmingham which is held in July each year. Exhibitors from throughout the world take part and they welcome many thousands of visitors, including people who are blind or partially sighted, professionals, business people and family members.

I was there (from Derby) working for a charity called LOOK and Sarah was there (from Surrey) working for RNIB. She came to my table as she had a magazine which she had just published an article about LOOK and wanted to show me. Sarah opened the magazine and said here are the pictures and the article, i said β€œWow, fantastic, it all looks great” which made Sarah quite proud of her work. I then said while laughing β€œyou know i didn’t see any of what you’ve just shown me, as i’m blind!”. Then as always, a brief pause as Sarah checks out my eyes to see if i’m joking, then Sarah laughed and said β€œNo way, me too!”. We both approach blindness in a similar way and love blossomed from that point. πŸ™‚

Ephesians 5:25Β Easy-to-Read Version

Husbands, love your wives the same as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.

My ThoughtsΒ πŸ’­

This is one of my favourite Bible verses that i try desperately Β each day to live up to. As soon as i first read this verse it convicted me straight away and i knew i wanted to be a husband like that!

πŸ™ Prayer

Spirit, thanks for being a constant guiding presence in my life. Give me the faith to take practical and radical action to keep in step with You, so that You can love my spouse through me in a way that will sustain a fun, loving & trusting relationship. Amen.
