Dear God,

Every day is a day to give thanks.  Today I am giving thanks that my eye was not damaged.

Last Wednesday I had cataract surgery.  During the procedure the surgeon nicked my eyeball.  Because of the bleeding she had to put in a stitch.  Later that evening I saw the color red all across my eye.  On a follow-up call she told me I was seeing the blood in my eye.  By the time I made my first visit after the surgery the doctor told me the blood had been mostly absorbed back into my eye.  I could see 20/20.

While I am giving thanks, I wonder how it is I am fortunate and blessed while others suffer damage or loss of their eye.  I can't understand why my life is so full of blessings and others are filled with loss.

Thank you,

O God,

for the gift

of my eye.

Thank you

for my healing.

Thank you

for every gift

you have

ever given

to me.

I am thankful.

Bless, O Lord,

all those

whose lives

are filled

with pain.

Love, Andrea
