2014 - Thankful.... Day 3

I get that there is atheism in the world... nonbelievers. Evolutionists. Everyone has a right to their opinion. Boy am I glad that I'm a believer. Such comfort is found through faith. The answers that come from prayer... who wouldn't want those things?

It seems simple - today, I'm thankful for eyesight. It truly is the window to the soul. As I sit and stare at the objects around me... I think to myself how amazing that I have such a crystal clear view of all that is around me... and how what I've seen in my life has affected all that is within me.

How can the atheists... the nonbelievers... the evolutionists... how can they deny that connection between the eye, and the soul? How could they simply settle on a scientific reason, and be content with that?

The three times that I first laid eyes upon my newborn daughters... The rays of sunshine casting through the Vatican skylights... The seasons... the sunrises and sunsets... the falling stars... the steam rising over water on frozen winter mornings... The times I met my husband, his family... Homeless people... hungry people... happy people... Soaring birds, raging rivers, skyscraping mountains and deep valleys. The Milky Way. Christmas Lights.. .

Oh, how I am thankful for my eyesight... I cannot imagine living in this world without being able to see and appreciate all that has been seen... I'm thankful that, unfortunately, my heart is firmly planted on my sleeve and that my eyesight emits strong emotion sometimes. Those heart swelling moments are too often :) Tears of joy...
