My Eyes

I went to visit the eye doctor yesterday. I was out of contacts and it was beyond necessary. My appointment was at 9 a.m. and I am always on time to any doctor's appointment I have scheduled. In fact, I'm usually early hoping that I will be seen by the doctor sooner than my appointed time. At 8:50 I was still on 610 near the Galleria and I became anxious...What if I'm so late that they give my appointment away to someone else and I'm forced to wait for the next appointment. The good news is that traffic began to move and I got there just before 9 a.m. I had forgotten any reading material and left my phone in the car so I had nothing to read and no games to play. The magazines in the doctor's office are just never of any interest to me. I am telling you the truth that the magazines I had to choose from were either BABY, Sports Illustrated or BABY or Sports Illustrated. I WAS BORED. As I sat there with nothing to occupy my mind I remembered an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer was tired of waiting on the cable company and decided to make them wait instead of the them making him wait. Silly comparison, I know but it made for a great Seinfeld moment.

My least favorite part of the exam is when you look through the big, black machine that they flip back and forth between horribly blurred lines of letters and you are asked "which one is better?" I mean seriously, they are all bad.

As I was waiting for my eyes to dilate I began to think about my ability to read and I was very burdened for illiterate people. I began to thank God for my ability to read and to pray for those that were not given the opportunity to learn.

I just have to honestly say that before yesterday, I never thanked God for the ability to read.

The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
