John 9:1-7, 13-17

​Thoughts:            “So, have you read the scripture for Sunday?”
                             “What scripture?”
                             “Don’t you get the Word @ Home?”
                             “What Word @Home?”
                             “Do you read all your Email?”
                             “But don’t you read stuff from the church?”
                             “Here’s something from the church.  Where’s John?”
                             “Wasn’t he a disciple?”
                             “Probably.  Sounds like a good name for a disciple.”
                             “Here’s John with a – whaddya call it? – a Roman numeral after it.”
                             “That’s not it.  Just plain John.”
                             “Found it.  It’s about some guy who’s blind.”
                             “That’s tough.”
                             “But Jesus healed him!  Gave him back his sight!”
          
Discussion:          “Open my eyes, that I may see glimpses of truth Thou hast for me.”
                             What glimpses of truth might we see during Lent?
                            
Activity:               Try to give a glimpse of God’s love every day to someone who hurts, through smiles, phone calls, compliments, notes.
