There
are several "joys" of having had only one cataract surgery: do the old glasses
work (not really), can you pop out one lens (didn’t work), do you try a pair of
$1.00 glasses (some help), or do you just try to see without any helping lens
(depends on what you are doing, especially if it involves a computer screen and
other written material). Hopefully after
the second surgery, everything will come back into focus!
Lent
is a time for focusing on the many facets of life: what we have to be thankful
for, what we may need to repent of, how we can be more careful and thoughtful
of others. Our Wednesday evening Lenten
study of Toxic Charity is going to focus on and then refocus our
thoughts about charity.
One
of my favorite Psalms is Psalm 121(especially the King James Version) in which
the psalmist uses his eyes to realize that our help comes from the Lord, that
God is watching over us, and that he is always there with us.
I
will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from
whence cometh my help.
My
help cometh from the Lord,
which
made heaven and earth.
He
will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
he
that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold,
he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The
Lord is thy keeper:
the
Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The
sun shall not smite thee by day,
nor
the moon by night.
The
Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
he
shall preserve thy soul.
The
Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from
this time forth, and even for evermore.
