Sometimes We Never Know What We Have Missed Until GOD Touches Us Miraculously!

Sometimes one does not know what they have been missing until GOD opens either their eyes, their ears...and heart...or all three.

When one lives life from birth not being able to see but a range of vision between the size of a nickel or a quarter...not able to judge distances at all...

How can he or she, like me...enjoy a sunrise or sunset as it's meant to be?

How does one have the concept of a mountain range...whether The Smokies or Appalachians ...
If one cannot even see one entire mountain in one simultaneous view but needs to move one's eyes just to see parts of only one?

I remember through out my life at all sorts of ages...being hit by cars, trucks and even once almost
sucked up under a bus by centrifical force.

I remember once a single mother way back in the early 80's when my son who is now 29 years old...but then was between 5 and 10...

My son & I would hold hands singing new songs joyfully as we would walk and skip along sidewalks...

And often it was he who would hold me back as a speeding car or truck went by!

Not because I was not paying attention...for I would spend much time and take caution...
But when ones total range of vision is not even the size of a quarter...

It is impossible to see all things...hence why all my life until GOD healed and opened my eyes...
My entire body was all bruised up!

I recall as a child when I would get to swim with my brothers anywhere...my father calling me out of the pool and when I would come running he would say: "Turn around!" "Again!"

Making me feel saddened as he and the men would count my band-aids and laugh...then he would send me away!

But never in my life did anyone take me serious when I would fall or trip on something... "But I did not see it!"

"Why don't you watch where you are going and often I would get popped or slapped for being careless...."When are you going to learn anything?"

So now I have experienced my first panorama photos and roadside views...of mountaintops and meadows and now can even see you! Your whole face at one time that is!

You too never need be blue no matter what you face or what challenges you!

No matter how difficult a task...when we Seek GOd's Face from early morn till dark...HE will carry us!

Blessings!
