Seeing......

Seeing.....


 I am now the proud owner of three pairs of glasses....one for the computer, ....one for close reading....And a general purpose set....sight is a wonderful gift....
I remember a friend, who has since gone to see heaven, had three pair of glasses which she wore around her neck....each on a separate necklace...we laughed as she was always untangling them to get the "right " pair for the right use...I thought I never want that to happen to me...I keep mine at the various locations for use....not around my neck ......at this point.....

Having worn glasses or contacts since I was in the fifth grade,,they are just part of life...then having the emergency retinal surgery two years ago....and almost losing sight in one eye, sight became still more precious .....so will go with the various glasses....

Reading through the Bible, sight is acknowledged in so many different ways.....who made it...who lost it....who doesn't have it...how they used it.....and so on...

But I do appreciate it so much and the Creator who is all seeing and creating, who gave us sight both to see and discern....throughout our years...and I thank Him for the miracle of glasses....now..as the people in Bible times did not have the gift of glasses...

Thank you for the sight You have given me, but so much more than that, we who haven't "seen" You, can also have the promised eternal life that your disciples were able to obtain...we, too can "see" and believe.....
