Many years ago while living in the Pacific Northwest, we stumbled upon a talented guitarist/vocalist, who happens to be blind, performing at our city’s annual festival. He was well known in the region due to his style and giftedness. We enjoyed listening as he played and sang, and at the time our son Benjamin, a dedicated musician himself who’s just released his first worship cd (see www.denisemira.com for details) was in his early teens. Well, if you know much about musicians, you know they spoke the same language and Steve instantly became one of Ben’s musical heroes. Through a series of unplanned circumstances, these two artists recently connected again and what a treat it was last weekend (during my surprise trip to Seattle) when Steve invited Ben to join him on stage at a local venue, gave him the mic and unleashed him to play and sing whatever Ben liked. It was one of those times when God kisses our kids’ lives with what I like to call a very special happy surprise that only he can arrange. I was like a pig in mud as I drank in the moment….
