I finally found an eye doctor in Belfast Maine after trying everyone in Waterville, Newport, Bangor and any other places in that direction. The problem with Belfast is no place exists that can take a prescription and make glasses the same day. So off to Belfast for the doctor then to Bangor for the glasses. Not a short driving day. It is amazing however when you look out through glasses that are correct for your eyes. Wow I see a world, even clearly.
I think of all the years I was spiritually blind. I didn't even know enough to go to the doctor of my soul. I was stuck with a vision of myself and the world that was filled with distortion. You know like the mirrors in the fun house. Everything was messed up and although I would have said I was happy I was so wrong. I wish I had found the right lens for my life earlier but the important thing is now I can see and the world is beautiful. My son was showing me some of the features of my Iphoto that I had not tried. One was called enhance. What a difference in the picture when I hit enhance. Well my spiritual glasses made a much bigger difference than that. Thank God for being the best eye doctor and much easier to find than an eye doctor in Maine.
I just love reading your blog Uncle Dana.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say that a few times you've said something to the point of, you wish you had found the Lord before you did. And I have to say that knowing your life without the Lord and then knowing life with the Lord has probably helped you appreciate life with the Lord a lot more than you might have, had you not known life without Him. If that makes any sense! I just think that your account of your experiences without God in your life have helped so many people that need to hear those stories.
So, as much as you wish you had found God earlier in life, don't forget that all of that time helped others!
Glad you can see better now!!
