Brought tears to my eyes

Let me start this day by saying God is great.Something was done this morning that brought tears to my eyes.

My roommate's name is Mr.Burton.August 17th he will be 96 years old.His mind is so sharp and if I should be so blessed to making that far in life hope my thinking would be so clear.

Mr.Burton is blind.Has been for several years.Completely blind.He is also paralyzed from a stroke he suffered several years ago.

Often during the night or day Mr.B will ask what time is it? It is mine and our other roommate Willie's pleasure to answer his questions about time,what the weather looks like etc.

Mr.B has a talking watch but about a year ago it stopped working.Everyone thought it was ruined because it got wet in the shower.It was just put away in Mr.B's drawer and forgot about.

Yesterday the maintenance man Charles noticed it and took it home and changed the battery.It works.Now Mr.B knows the time and if it's day or night.

A blessing!

Mr.B is so happy.Charles is blessed.And that kind generous act of Christian love brought tears to my eyes.

We all are so blessed having a Father in Heaven who knows our every need.
