Appreciation

Sometimes we do not truly appreciate the things that we have until we no longer have them. As many of you know, I broke my glasses on Thursday and the doctor put me in contacts until I would get my new glasses and they were really bugging me and I was really annoyed. However, last night I lost one of these contacts and I had to go to school this morning without my glasses or contacts and therefore had to strain my eyes very much to see anything. This resulted in very sore eyes and a massive headache. When I got replacement contacts and slipped them in, it was so amazing just to be able to see things without straining! I am legally blind but I am so blessed that with the modern technology I am actually able to see!! Sometimes, I think we and by this I most definitely mean I need to stop some times and just take time to appreciate all the wonderful gifts that the Lord has given me!!
