Miracles Do Happen…But Stupidity Happens More Often

It seems at times that the long days just get longer. At times it seems as if God has a sense of humor and tries out all his new material on me.

But this morning I thought that had all changed. Finally God had decided to strike a balance.

As many of you know I have terrible eyesight. I have been wearing glasses since I was very young and am very near blind without them. This morning I did not simply bear witness to a miracle…I BECAME a miracle. This morning I woke up with my sight. I went to the bathroom, as is my normal ritual, looked in the mirror and saw myself…clearly. No glasses, yet I could see perfectly!! My heart soared with joy that finally God had smiled on me. A real, true, sincere smile. Not the usual suspicious grin that He wears knowing the punchline to a joke that I haven’t been told yet. All of my waiting for my miracle and here it was literally looking at me in the face!

Unfortunately, after this brief moment of walking around my house and looking around at everything, looking out the window and feeling for the first time that I was actually “seeing” a sunrise…something happened. Something awful happened. My eyes began to get dry and began irritating me. I blinked and blinked and blinked hoping the irritation would go away, but the more I blinked the worse it became.

Then it happened…

My right contact fell out. And just as quickly as it had come…so went my miracle. Apparently I had fallen asleep with my contacts in. I am very vigilant about removing my contacts before I go to sleep at night and putting on my glasses and if you had asked me I would have sworn that’s exactly what I did last night. Guess not.

Now if you are very very quiet and you listen reeeeaaaaaal close….you can hear God giggling…
