The school nurse in me chuckled when the picture appeared: sheep in a pink haze.
The thought came to me: I need my vision checked.
When I asked (twice!) for the one speaking to repeat what he said, I thought: I need my hearing checked.
In fact, since embarking on the fast that chose me, I have experienced several instances of spiritual hearing and vision screenings.
I learned how dim my vision and dull my hearing can be at times. I am thankful for grace that answers the cry of my heart:
OPEN MY EARS LORD AND HELP ME TO LISTEN
OPEN MY EYES LORD I WANT TO SEE JESUS
Seeing and hearing Jesus helps me more clearly see and hear people.
I am grateful today for:
#162 ears to hear
#163 eyes to see
#164 the love of God who does not judge by what he sees with his eyes
#165 the love of God who does not decide by what he hears with his ears
#166 new mercies every morning
#167 new perspective on assignments
#168 renewed heart of gratitude
#169 friends for the journey
#170 loosened chains of injustice
#171 dancing feet now freed

Precious are your words! How often do I look with my physical eyes...but NEVER see the spiritual that Abba intended for me to see. The same goes for my hearing. Thank you so much for sharing. I'll be taking time today to have my sight and my hearing checked by the One Who created me.
