Our eyes

Pam Weinreis • October 22, 2020

The rancher and I took the eye test. I concentrate on the light changes.


My pupils absorb the light inside my eyeball, telling my brain what I see.

The sun is shining through the clouds over a body of water

The eye searches for bigger, brighter letters.



From what I see becomes my perception of the world.


I am aware my eyes have begun to fail.


Matthew 6: 22-23 (Message) Your eyes are windows into your body.


If you open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light.

The sun is shining through the snow covered trees

If you live squinty-eyed in greed or distrust, your body is a dank cellar.


If you pull the blinds on your windows, what a dark life you will have.


Do you see only the wrong in this world? Or do you look for the good?


What we focus on will form us, what our eye beholds, we live out.

A pile of snow is sitting in the middle of a field

Ephesians 5: 2a, 5b, 8b-9


Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ.


For a greedy person is an idolater, worshipping the things of this world.


So live as people of light.


For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.


May we live wide-eyed, seeking the light of Christ.


Until next time Pam

It is day sixteen of war between Russia and Ukraine. “War can drive us all into the wilderness. Missiles drop, and we drop to our knees. We are a world wildly looking for a way out. We’re a hurting world, desperately fleeing – we see it all over our news screens.” (Ann Voskamp)

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved though him."
