Reverence: A Lesson from a Blind Date

Dear friends, today I want to share a story with you. A story that taught me a valuable lesson about reverence. It’s a tale from my younger days, a tale about a blind date. Now, don’t get too excited, this isn’t a romantic comedy, but a story that holds a profound life lesson.

The Blind Date

Many moons ago, a good friend set me up on a blind date. I was nervous, as anyone would be, but I was also excited. I was eager to meet this mystery woman and see where the evening would take us.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I was greeted by a woman named Sarah. She was beautiful, yes, but it was her aura that struck me. She had a calm, serene presence that immediately put me at ease. We spent the evening talking, laughing, and sharing stories. It was a wonderful night.

The Lesson

As the evening drew to a close, Sarah shared something with me. She told me that she was blind. I was taken aback, not because of her blindness, but because I hadn’t noticed. I had been so engrossed in our conversation, so captivated by her presence, that I hadn’t realized.

That’s when I learned my lesson about reverence. Sarah wasn’t defined by her blindness, but by her spirit, her intelligence, her kindness. I had revered her for who she was, not for what I saw. And isn’t that what reverence is all about? It’s about seeing beyond the surface, recognizing the inherent worth in everyone, and treating them with the respect they deserve.

Final Thoughts

So, my dear friends, let’s strive to practice reverence in our daily lives. Let’s look beyond the surface and see the true worth of the people around us. Let’s treat everyone with the respect and dignity they deserve. Because, in the end, that’s what truly matters.

Until next time, remember to live with kindness, respect, and reverence.

Yours in wisdom,
