Gerald's words jumped out at me and grabbed me by the throat! I sensed in my spirit that something significant had just taken place and that I needed to pray about what Gerald had said. The Bible says, 'The things that are seen are temporal, but the things that are unseen are eternal.' God has allowed me to see things that eyes can't begin to see!" (2 Corinthians 4:18) God has His purpose for everything and we know that we are experiencing all of this so that we can share His love with others who are blind." Gerald leaned over, looked my direction, and said, "I was born blind, but I believe that I can see better than a lot of folks who have their sight. At one point in the conversation I asked Gerald, "How long have you been blind?" Eunice said, "My husband was born blind and I am legally blind, but the Lord has been so good to us.
She told me their nephew was a minister and that he was coming to get them so they could attend his church while they were in Denver. Eunice had a Bible in her hands and I asked if they were going to church. Their names were Eunice and Gerald Frederick and I found out that they were in Denver for a conference on reaching the blind for Christ. The lady said they were from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I introduced myself and asked where they were from. They made their way over to the sofa and sat down beside me. I noticed that the man had a long cane that he was using to find his way around the lobby and that she was at his side to give him assistance. An elderly couple came into the lobby after they got off the elevator. On Sunday morning I was sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the Ramada Inn waiting for an airport shuttle to take me to Denver International Airport. I have also found that the Lord will speak to me powerfully through some of these folks if I will only stand still long enough to listen. I have found over the years, as I have had the opportunity to travel and speak, that there are incredibly interesting people all around us. I talk to everyone who will stand still long enough for me to strike up a conversation with them. You need to know something about me when I go on trips. I went to Denver for four days for a special project I have been asked to participate in and to attend the General Assembly of our church. I will never understand how that can happen no matter how many times I see it! I wasn't there on vacation or for sightseeing, even though I did see some awesome sights like the snow-capped Rocky Mountains at the end of July. Without A Vision The People Perish by Mike Hays
