Five Senses

God has blessed most of us with the five senses of touch, smell, taste, hearing and seeing. For those who are missing any of these senses, God has likely strengthened other senses. For example, Helen Keller was an amazing woman who lost her sight and hearing when she was just a toddler. Feel became her strongest sense when she was very young. She knew who was in the room with her by the vibration a person's walk created. More amazingly, her teacher, Anne Sullivan, taught her how to communicate - even with her voice. Helen Keller went on to become an author and a lecturer even though she was lacking two of her senses. She didn't use the lack of those as excuses to quit. Instead, she used her disability to forge ahead.

For those of us with all five senses, we often use every excuse we can think of to put off, whether that's activities, getting a formal education or whatever else we should be doing. We need to be thankful for the senses God has given us and use them for good.

Read more about Helen and Anne here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller. Or watch the movie, The Miracle Worker, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8wDPCAmAPA. God brings people like these two women into the world to inspire us. So, let your God-given senses be inspired.

Blessings in Christ,
