I promised to fill you in on why I need to focus on my blessings not my problems. Well it all started with a routine eye exam. I went in to my eye doctor because my lenses where scratched up something fierce. Well, my doctor looked in to my eyes and said I see a problem in your left eye. I want you to see Dr. Allan (a surgeon.).. Well, I made the appointment for the following Wednesday and sure enough there was a problem. He sent me to a retina specialist in Salt Lake and I had surgery to fix a hole in my retina. I wasn’t worried about the surgery thanks to someone who shared an inspirational experience from his life and, of course, a Father’s blessing. It’s the recovery. Its moving, in my opinion at a snail’s pace which is driving me crazy because the only print I can read clearly is extra large print and even it’s a little blurry. This is why when I feel frustrated I count my blessings. For example,
1. My vision is returning. There are other’s who are not as fortunate. It is a blessing also to now have empathy for them because I was able to experience what their world is like. I am grateful for my sight.
2. I have a family who has been willing to help me and support me through this as well as other trials that have been difficult.(Again, other are not blessed with such a great support system.)
3. The Priesthood and a dad who is worthy to use it righteously and happy to exercise it. I am grateful that my dad has been there countless times and I have been healed and comforted.
I could go on; however, I think you get the general idea. I am truly blessed so my sight will return and I will be prepared for what my Father in Heaven has in mind for me.
