I realized that the kids needed to have some understanding that to be visually impaired can vary quite a bit. They had only experienced being completely blindfolded. I passed around a piece of wax paper for them to look through. They could see light and dark but everything was blurry. Then I passed around a piece of paper with a hole in it. This was to represent "tunnel vision." I think the children have become more and more grateful for the abilities they do have and I hope they have some understanding of how
God 's power can be shown through our weaknesses now.
During our "Circle Time" we talked about the story found in John 9:1-7 when Jesus healed a blind man. The man was begging for money so we had a great opportunity to talk about people that are asking for money on the street corners. The kids had a lot of questions about that. Then we talked about how Jesus healed him by putting mud on his eyes. Once again, a man's challenge allowed God's power to be shown.
