9. Eyes

For a week or two, I had an nasty eye infection. My eyes felt like were burning, my vision were blurry, and I had yellow eye boogers. Eeeew. Thankfully, I'm almost out of the woods now! My eyes are getting better due to the eye drops.

When my eyes were "sick," I realized how much I take the ability to see for granted. We have eyes to see God's creation, to see the facial expressions of people we love, to see the food we eat, to see where we are walking, and so many other things! Heck, I wouldn't be able to do my job if I couldn't see! (I'm a graphic designer..eh heh. Kinda important to have eyes...) Eyes not only allows us to see the simple yet precious things in live. It also allows us to avoid danger!

We have to look both ways before we have to cross the street right? We have to watch where we are chopping when we're chopping up onions. We have to watch we're walking to make sure we don't run into a tree...because that would be quite painful.

Eyes can also be used to communicate. In cartoons, girls flutter their eyes at boys to showcase their beauty. Eyes can communicate happiness, fear, anger, surprised, frustration, sleepiness, hyper, excitement, and so much more! Eyes can also communicate hope when a person's eye open for the first time after a 10 year coma.

Thank you God, for my eyes! And for the ability to see!

  1. And I am very thankful for glasses, because without them I am legally blind and cannot see anything that is not 6 inches or fewer away from my face!
