Darin-

I came across your message, and wanted to just pass along my
appreciation of your understanding and acceptance of God's will.
As a believer too, I have had to come to the realization that God
in fact has a purpose for me, and that the best thing I can do is
to let Him carry me from day to day.  I have been saved since early
teens, but unlike your wife, I have only been blind for the past 3
years(now 36).  I can see that He has in fact not given me more
than I am able to bear, and I praise Him for the attitude He has
given me.  I wake up each day looking not at the handicap, but at
what new and exciting things I will come across this day.  It
sounds like you and your wife have found the secret to trusting in
God and being content in what ever situation just like Paul.  Hope
to chat again.  Thanks.  Oh, by the way...  Does your wife use the
computer for her Bible study, or what?
