The Gift of Sight

This week I visited the eye doctor for my annual check up.  The good news is that my current vision requires no change to my glasses. The bad news is that as we get older, our eyes begin to wear out.

That started my thought process about not having the gift of sight.  How much I would be missing if I couldn't enjoy God's every day miracles.  How some people never get the chance to see at all.
We take so much for granted.  Think about the workings of your eyes.  A complex process involving the brain and nerves working together to produce sight.  Amazing!  Nothing to wind up each day or plug in...the human body takes care of it all.  Blue, brown, green, hazel...eyes come in many colors but each one designed by God.

Matthew 6:22 says, “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light." How blessed we are to have a lamp that lights our way.  Look for good things in average settings and be thankful you are in possession of such a wonderful gift: the gift of sight.
