Dear God,

I have very dry eyes.  After reading for a while, my vision becomes blurry.  I have to blink several times and try to adjust my eyes so I can see better.

Funny how much that is like life.  Often after seeing the same things over and over again, our vision can cause us trouble.  When we try clearing our vision alone, we find ourselves seeing more of the same.  Maybe the blurriness is more about seeing the same thing rather than eye problems.  Maybe we need to have our vision reexamined, our eyes cleared of debris and what we see altered.

It is true we see what we want to see and when we don't, we grow unhappy.  Yet, with faith and trust in you, we come to the realization that there are things you want us to see, to hear and to touch.  You want to change our vision making us see deeper and wider.  Your world is far greater than our own.  We need to open our eyes to see you.

Thank you,

Loving God,

for reminding us

to get

in tune

with your desire

for our lives;

for your desire

is far better

than our own.

We see more

with you

than without you.

Thank you

for the gift

of your vision today.

Love, Andrea
