Contacts

 

I am marveling about.....


Contacts 


Is anyone else amazed at contacts? A small, round, disposable disc that fits on the eye and enables us to go about our business of life with clarity of vision! I was, well, older, when I first started using these amazing inventions. Earlier this year in fact. I will not say that it was an easy learning curve; the insertion and removal part. I may have asked for prayers. I may have made multiple trips to my eye Dr.  I may have called a neighbor who works for an eye Dr. to come over and talk me through a difficult removal one evening (thank you friend:)).

But now that I have thankfully caught onto it, I am humbly grateful every day for their blessed benefit. To be able to see like I used to and to not need to deal with reading glasses is, well, suffice it to say... a gift!

 But how much better the gift that Jesus has given all of those who believe on His name. Spiritual vision! The ability to see life with an eternal clarity that defies the blurry lines of this world's hurts, confusion and challenges. 

And how do we get this spiritual vision? By inserting Faith into our lives, a faith that comes from making contact with our Savior. There was the initial contact of surrender and repentance, like the initial prescription that our eye Dr. made to fit our personal vision need. We all have the same prescription for the eternal vision that gives us eternal life: Belief in the saving blood of Jesus Christ!

 And just as we need to daily insert our contacts in order to have clear vision, so we need daily contact with our Lord and Savior to be able to function with clear Spiritual sight and perspective.

Thank you Jesus for making this possible, for the contact of your love as you give us heavenly vision!

Thank You and God Bless!!

  Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...

Misunderstanding Understanding

  I am musing about...  Misunderstanding Understanding (the understanding of misunderstanding :) ) We all have been involved in misunderstandings; in being misunderstood. It is logical to see how this can happen. We all look at situations according to our  own "story", our personal experiences and our own  interpretation of life. There are times we say something, and it is simply taken "the wrong way". There are times someone says something to us, and we take it "the wrong way". The sad thing is when this misunderstanding goes uncorrected; when it influences behavior, emotions and relationships. That is why good communication is so important. That is why prayer is so needful. Do we pray that God will guide our words and conversations? Do we pray that God will prepare the hearts of those we may plan to speak with regarding a somewhat deep situation? But then there are those spontaneous, if you will, interactions. Those supposedly harmless statements that so...

The Pacemaker of my Heart

  I am musing about.... The Pacemaker. My pacemaker. So I got one. Last Wednesday. Unexpectedly. At the age of 64! I started noticing that I was light headed with standing. Kept an eye on it. My Physician's Assistant son in law checked my B/P. It was great. Standing B/P-was great. Pulse...was low. Quite low. Mmmm.... Kept watching. Labs (thankfully normal). Eventual ER visit. EKG. Found out I had a 2nd degree heart block! (an electrical cardiac issue where-by the electrical impulse system is blocked for some reason, causing a problem with the stimulus for a beat not communicating correctly to the actual heart muscle which is responsible for the contraction) What? When? How? Within 48 hours of discovering this...I have a new friend. A pacemaker inserted for life. To assure that my heart does not get too low relative to this "electrical conduction" problem. "One of those things". Well, I am still processing all of this. Just seems weird. But I am thankful. Thankfu...
