Our nine year old son Adam was squinting and having a hard time seeing things far off. I had noticed this even when he would be in a store and looking at something on a shelf. I made him an appointment with the eye doctor and my suspicions were confirmed, he needed glasses.

So many times I have gone through life trying to focus on things but they weren’t clear. God wants to give me focus and clear vision.  Like Adam, I can’t rely on my own eyesight.  I need God’s word to keep the vision in focus.

If I know God’s word then I know what is true.

Psalms 119:10 & 11

¹⁰ With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
¹¹ Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.

Yesterday, Bryan graduated from a cast to a walking boot. I cannot tell you how excited both of us were. It has been almost six weeks since his surgery and the physician’s assistant we saw yesterday was impressed by his x-rays.

Today, he had his first physical therapy appointment and the therapist was encouraged by his progress. He is sore and uncomfortable, but did great at his appointment.

Patience doesn’t come quickly and we are both learning this lesson.
