Here is a wonderfull picture of God's Saints straight from a secular book, "Gathering Blue" a book in the same series as 'The Giver."
"They were just people. But they are people like me, who were damaged. Who had ben left to die...they had come from all over,those who had been wounded. Some traveled very long distances. It's astounding to hear of the difficult journeys...They had formed their own community. They help each other. We help each other...Those who can see? They guide me. I am never without helping eyes...Those who walk? They are carried...There is always someone to lean on, or a pair of strong hands for those who have none...The village of the healing has existed for a long time, wounded people still come...And we have others who have found us and stayed because they wanted to share our way of life."
