Love That Is Blind

They say in his old age, Isaac was blind
    yet like his father Abraham, unusually kind

  Rebecca, his wife, came from a family evil and cruel
    her brother Laban tried to rob Eliezer of all of his jewels ... 

  Isaac loved his 'hunter-son,' Esau, a chip off Laban's block
    in Esau's brother Jacob, her pure son, Mother Rebecca put her stock -- 

  Foiling Isaac's plan to give his blessing to Esau, one so cruel
    ~ Love that is blind must not be permitted to rule

Arlo Parker Date: 11/27/2022 7:47:00 PM And to think God saved Isaac for just such a generational Patriarch.

Valsa George Date: 11/27/2022 5:18:00 AM I must say that it was a case of great treachery. Isaac couldn't find out his folly as he was blind. Blind cannot lead nor take right decisions ! Your take on the Biblical story applies equally to love that is blind ! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 11/27/2022 2:07:00 PM Thaks for your comment, Valsa. It takes a courageous soul to read stuff like this. Appreciated. Rebecca saved the day, didn't she? ~ gw
