Keep Your Eyes on the Light

 I recently underwent cataract surgery for both my eyes.  I wasn't nervous about the procedure-at least until I was being prepped.  Then I started thinking about how I was putting my faith in someone who I didn't know.  Someone who could have a hangover, a nasty fight with a colleague or who simply was unskilled.  

When everything was ready, I was given the simple instruction to 'keep looking at the light'.  As I was concentrating on that, I relaxed and was able to marvel at how wonderous it was that I lived in a time and a when my failing eye sight could be restored.

Life has a lot of challenges; cost of food and other living expenses, poor health, ailing family members, and much more.  I have learnt through the years that God will always bring me through.  The challenge doesn't disappear but the peace that can only come from my Heavenly Father gives me the faith to trust Him.

Keep your eyes on the light, the Light of God should be our daily mantra.

In His Name.
