My home town for all practical purposes is Tuscumbia, Alabama. Our number one and only claim to fame is we are the birthplace of Helen Keller. On CNN web site recently there was a story about researchers who had uncovered this rare photograph of a young Helen Keller with her teacher Anne Sullivan, nearly 120 years after it was taken on Cape Cod.
Helen was born blind and had to overcome many difficult obstacles in her life. In spite of all the hardship she lived and very meaningful and rewarding life that impacted a lot of other people in a very positive way.
Helen was once asked, can you think of anything worse than being born blind? Her immediate answer was, to have sight and yet lack vision for your life. The overwhelming majority of people you know have physical sight but do they clearly see all the things that are really important in life.
What vision do you have for your life? Please tell me it is more than going to work, coming home and watching T.V. and then going to bed. There are so many important things to be done and hurting people that need to be touched.
Can you see them?
