Today’s Quote: “There is more to life than increasing its speed.”

Today’s Thanks: Seeing. The ability to see, and to see correctly, is something I am really tuned in to at this point! Dealing with this eye patch has taught me several things: 1) be thankful for eyesight, 2) be mindful and helpful to those who have disabilities, 3) it takes correct vision to have correct depth perception (think about that for a while!), and 4) God doesn’t owe me good vision – He gives it to me as a free gift! Again, it blows me away that God could have made the world black, white, and grey – or at least our perception of it – and we would have lived normally and functioned properly. But God is so creative and so passionate about us, that He designed this all just for us. God’s character is intact whether our world has color or not. But we are much better off! It is a blessing that He gave us sight in the first place. We would have learned to live life even if none of us had ever seen anything. But thankfully He gave us a gift that allows us to experience life to the full, if we would just take the time to notice! Remember the time right after you got glasses or contacts, and the world around you seemed so much sharper? Like, you could see the individual blades of grass? Take time right now to press the re-set button on how you see the things around you (both literally and figuratively). And resolve never to take it for granted again!

Today’s Verse: “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?” Psalm 8:3,4.
