Over the weekend my daughter developed a reddened eye, which led to a visit to Urgent Care and, ultimately, the ER. We learned that she has another scratch on her cornea, the third such incident in less than two years. A visit to our Opthamologist today revealed that extended wear contacts are the culprits because she has a heightened sensitivity to bacteria that leads to staff infection in the eye. Once her eye is completely healed, we will be making a major change in how she wears contacts.
Today's diagnosis caused me to think of how I need a heightened sensitivity to the grace of God in operation within me and around me. I want to see the world through a divine lens of compassion. I long to recognize God's activity so that I may join him in what he is already doing. Father, grant to each of us an added measure of spiritual awareness today so that we may more clearly reflect your image in us.
