My Eyes Are Blessed!

But blessed are your eyes, for they see... Matthew 13:16a KJV

On September 7, 2018 I went to the eye doctor for my annual checkup. The technician saw me first before the doctor came in to see me. I explained my diet has been poor and therefore didn’t expect a good result.

So he checked my right eye which has been my stronger eye and it was just OK. Things were a tad blurry but I could still make out the letters on the line I had to read. 

Then he checked my left eye, the weaker eye. I was shocked to see things crisp and clear and be able to read most of the same line as with my right eye which has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!!!! 

All my life I have had childhood macular mal-development which left me feeling hopelessly depressed when leaving the doctor's office in the past from an eye exam. In fact, I decided to switch doctors within the same clinic rather recently because I would bump heads with the previous one who fed me a negative prognosis. I believe that had to have helped open the door to a miracle, making it possible for me to believe and receive.

So things were different this time, and I could see clearly though it was still hard to make out the characters. It’s hard to explain, that even though I had good acuity, I still couldn’t make out all the letters, especially so close together. But my vision was by far the best it’s ever been! The technician said he is still counting this line for the left eye reading for my chart. So my sight in the left eye almost matches that of the right eye for the first time in my life!

Then, the doctor he came in and looked at my eyes, and was in utter amazement! Upon examining my retinas, he said they both look great with no ill signs. He said this doesn’t just happen! I told him my diet has been poor so I’m amazed too! 

I explained that I’m a Christian and that one morning, and on another occasion, the Lord told me He would be healing my left eye! The doctor said that whatever I’m doing, I should continue! 

I am reminded that a while back Pastor Tom Hernandez at Heart of the Bay Christian Center had a word for someone, "Macular Regeneration!" I don't think I was present in the meeting in which he gave that word, but later he determined it was for me.

Well, I will continue to give God all the glory! I’m taking it as a miracle unfolding! Amen.

Encouraged About an Old Soulmate

I had just received word about Meredith who has been living at a bird sanctuary 32 miles away from me, formerly my pet for the first 25 years of his life, that he was ill. It sounded like he was about to exit this world. I wasn't ready for that although I was already sensing something was going on with him.

So I asked God to allow me more time with him. As it was, I was feeling badly for not visiting him more often, though I had good reasons. I had car issues and commitment to school.

But on the way to visiting him yesterday, enduring the wind and rain on the highway, I asked God for a turnaround in Meredith's health. I had to no longer entertain the thought that he was about to die, but that he could have extended life. I thanked the Lord and saw a rainbow grace the sky in the direction where he is living. I wish I could have pulled off the highway to take a picture of it. It was perfect, and too good to be a mere coincidence! That gave me great hope and joy that God heard my prayers. That felt special to me!

When I arrived and saw his cage on the table, I was hesitant about approaching him. But after setting my things down, I got a better look at him. It was hard at first and he didn't look well. But with a few moments of interacting with him, he seemed to perk up and eat and drink. He allowed me to stroke his head, although not at first. But once he warned up to me, he made the sounds he used to make when getting his neck rubbed.

This encouraged me and revived my faith which had seemed to fade away. Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness! ♥️

 

Update tonight:

This is nothing short of a miracle, given the bird's age and his condition when I first heard about this and saw him weak, unstable on his feet, and shivering! Now he has his life back!

The Miracle of the Red Coat Sweater

A while back I regretfully parted with a red and black coat sweater. I thought since I wasn't wearing it that I should give it up. Well I did and wished I hadn't.

Well, that was several months ago, and just recently the Lord asked me if I would like to have another one. My answer was of course "yes." So I had been on the lookout for one since.

Today that opportunity finally arrived and I found it in a solid red but of a darker shade than the one I had, and with no black in it. I bought it for 20% off on the Senior Sunday Discount. So I got it at a real bargain.

Thank you, Lord!

Raised Moth

While working as a maid at The Gant in Aspen, Colorado, I noticed on the ground near the redwood bark mulch a lighter orange triangular shaped object. It was flat but it drew my curiosity. I stooped to pick it up and found it was a dying moth. I prayed life back into it and it fluttered out of my hand. This was back in Summer of 1982.

Marguerite Healed from a Stroke

A bird I named after a friend was healed of a stroke after anointing her with oil a second time before taking her to the vet to be put down. I was in a state of disbelief when the vet said we don't have to euthanize her. I came home in relief with a bird who was in a state of recovery.
