Thought for the day

I have been home from work for the last 3 days because I'm having to wait on a pair of new glasses. I overwore my contact lenses and can't wear them for 10 days. I wore glasses from the time I was 2 until I turned 14 years old. I got the latest style when I was 12. When I got contacts, I never wanted to wear glasses again. I was tired of being made fun of by other kids. I didn't have any glasses to wear except for my 40 year old pair. They get laughs from everyone who sees them as they have no ear pieces. They broke off a long time ago. My old roommate used to make me put them on to get a laugh out of her dates. I wore them to a Halloween party when my husband I dressed up as nerds. The opthamalogist and nurses at the office said that they were the oldest and most pitiful pair of glasses they had ever seen. All of this to say, I am so thankful that the Lord has blessed me with vision. I have come to appreciate the sight that I do have these last few days. I can't see any details up close.When I put on my dinosaur glasses I can see detail from a distance. I am thankful for doctors that can diagnose and treat my eye problems. I'm thankful for contacts and glasses. I'm thankful for insurance that helps in paying for the implements that help me to see clearly. So, in light of the inconvience of these past few days, it has made me so thankful for all that the Lord has blessed me with.
