My Glasses are messed up

2 Corinthians 4:18 AMP

Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.

I need eye glass pretty bad or good, however you want to look at!

I bought these three years ago, a little bit before we moved to TN. I’ve worn glasses sense about 35yrs old, I’ve always hated them, I have progressive lenses so you have to get it just right to read something close. Through the years the prescription changes and I have to get new glasses. All these years wearing glasses sucked!… Can I use that word? However, I’ve went without eye glasses for about two months before these, I broke the ones I had before and it took that long to get in to a doctor, order glasses, wait for them, then finally get them.

Not having glasses really sucked! I was squinting and everything past my arm was blurry, the farther it was the less I could see it.

I had gone to a new Eye Doctor in Ventura CA, they did all this tests as usual, fitted my face with a scan, had me choose a pair of glasses, then told me to wait two weeks for the ones I picked to get fitted for my face and lenses. I came back two weeks later, put them on, and they felt like the typical pair that I had before on my face. The DIFFERENCE was, the lens, where they placed the progressive spot. It was more natural, not awkward. I loved them! I didn’t struggle to see through the progressive part ! So much better and I still looked cool!

Isaiah 55:8–9 AMP

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Proverbs 14:12 AMP

There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death.

We go though this journey making decisions about important things in our life, families, work, relationships, ministry. And a lot of times we look at those things through a lens that is not fitted for us, and we make choices because that's what our family did, our parents did, the school I went to taught me, I found someone who speaks to me and has a positive influence in your life and so on. I’m sure many of those are positive examples of how to accomplish things and get to a certain place. Nothing wrong with traditions and heritage being carried toward the future. Some things need to be slayed out of your traditions and heritage though. I came from a long line of heavy drinkers. It was a right of passage to get drunk with family. I’m the youngest of nine with five brothers, who all went to a rehab, most got a divorce, lost their families because they look though a lens filled with addiction and selfishness. Praise be to God they all came to the Lord and looked through a lens of faith, hope and to others needs. This is the Lens that they started to look though. The perspective changed when they looked at the mountain they had to climb in front of them.They are either in Heaven or working this Journey out to the end improving their vision to this day.

Heres the Perspective: If there is anything you can do today, it’s to see what the word of God has to say about it. Facing financial issues, Marriage problems? How to deal with the world views we face everyday? How to be a disciple? How to be a better Husband, Father, Brother, Friend, Uncle? In one way or another the Bible will point you to Jesus, His example, teachings, mission, death and resurrection, return, heaven and eternity.

Colossians 3:2–3 AMP

And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.
