After my paralyzed friend, Terry Parlow, lost his sight, he often spoke of how without eyesight, his vision was much clearer for truly seeing what was really important---and people were at the top of his "focal" list.
Somedays one can be so distracted with the urgencies of life that they don't even "see" what's right in front of them, much less focus on them.
Even when objects, or people are noticed, it can be so quick that the image doesn't seem to really register.
Seeing can be more than the transference of visual image from the optic nerve to the brain.
Seeing becomes deeper when it moves to the heart and is then coupled with understanding.
Then blessings can abound!
Then blessings can abound!
Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. (Matthew 13:16, Berean Study Bible)
...they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart. (Acts 28:27)
Sometimes it helps to "choose to see" the world on tip-toes with friends on either side to aid in your understanding and enrich the shared visual experience from a variety of perspectives.
*Certainly this picture of precious Rory with his best friends blesses my heart.
