Many people in our culture make love to be based on appearance. "I will only love you if you are lovable" is the montra of this ideology and it is widely held. But this morning while I was getting three of my babes from the childrens rooms after the gathering today I saw a couple of parents with the most beautiful little curly blond-headed boy. The parents, like all parents, were overjoyed to see their boy after hearing the sermon, but this was different! These parents were blind!! They would not see their boy, not today and judging from their condition, not ever. Yet they adored this son of theirs! A son whose eyes they will never inspect, whose curly ringlets will never know the caress of a mothers eyes. And yet my heart was moved deeply by the love on their faces for this child!
