I CAN SEE!

I just posted this on my "Live Learn Grow" blog but I wanted to share it here as well.

I am now wearing my first pair of glasses. I just got them last night. I really had no idea how many things I was missing out on because I couldn't see clearly. Everything looked just fine to me until I took my eye test in order to renew my driver's license. I am a little concerned now because I clean houses for a living.

When I put my glasses on yesterday evening, I looked around at everything in the house and saw things in a whole new way. I even saw dirt on my kitchen cabinets that I can't see without my glasses on. I just kept looking at the places on my cabinets with my glasses on and then with them off. I couldn't believe it! I wonder how much dirt I'm leaving behind at everyone else's house if I couldn't see to clean my own....haha! I can only pray that they are as blind as me I guess....haha!

Since this whole ordeal with me needing to see better started happening, I've been thinking alot about it all in a spiritual way. Shocked aren't you?

The glasses are like the Holy Spirit. They help me to see things that I didn't even notice before. Because of the Holy Spirit, I am able to understand things better. Like humans, who think they don't need God, I didn't think there was anything wrong with my eyes and I thought I could see everything just fine. I really thought I still had 20/20 vision. It wasn't until I was "tested" that I found out just how much I couldn't see.

"I once was lost, but now I'm found. Was blind but now I see"

Do you need glasses? Spiritual glasses? We all do. The sooner you get your eyes checked, the sooner you'll see you're need for seeing things differently and soooo much clearer.

Go put your glasses on!

I heartily concur.

Enjoy your new vision.

I actually enjoy my nice, impressionistic view of the world. (only kidding) I probably need glasses too as I barely passed the vision portion at my last driving test. So, if you pass me on the road, pass quickly.

I had the same reaction when I got my first pair of glasses. It's absolutely amazing that you can gradually stop seeing the details and not realize it's happening. I first realized I needed glasses when I started having trouble reading the lyrics in the church hymnals.
Oh, good metaphor too.
