Stay blind to pride and be authentic
There once was a man who was blind from birth! He owned a
fruit stand on a very busy street. One day his only son came to
him and told him that he read in the newspaper of a new
discovery where they could operate on his eyes and allow him to
see. The father and son traveled to the doctor and paid for the
operation. The doctors asked the man after the operation,
"What is the first thing you want to see when I take the
bandages off?” The man that was blind from birth replied, "I
want to see my beautiful fruit on my stand!" The Doctor and the
son escorted the man that was blind from birth, down to the
busy street where his fruit stand was located for so many years.
He carefully unwrapped the bandages so that he could lay his
eyes on the beautiful fruit! The man was so full of joy that he
could finally see his life's work of taking care of his fruit! After
a few hours of enjoying his beautiful fruit stand, he looked down
the street both ways and saw there were quite a few fruit stands
in both directions. He looked across the street and saw other
fruit stands. He spent so much time looking at other people’s
fruit stands he went out of business! God thinks of you, always
be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself. Almost
every man wastes part of his life in attempts to display qualities
which he does not possess, and to gain applause which he
cannot keep. God loves the authentic people, be authentic.
Adam’s restaurant is offering us a Fundraiser. You can go
to eat anytime and they will give us 10% of the money that you
spend there for the Mission trip.
Yard Work We are inviting parishioners to sign up for Yard
Work, on this weekend October 18-19 and 25-26 after all

provide the trash bags. Thanks and God Bless!
Mission Trip Meeting Participants we have meeting at
3:00 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 2, in the church Basement.
