Reflection for Today
Today we pray for us to grow in gratitude for the gift of our eyesight. We often take our vision for granted until we face the possibility of losing it. Psalm 136:1 calls us to give thanks to the Lord, for He is good and His love endures forever. This reminder encourages us to be grateful for all of God\'s gifts, including our eyesight. When we practice gratitude for our vision, we become more aware of the beauty around us - the colors of a sunset, the smile of a loved one, the words in a book, the faces of our children. Gratitude also helps us to be more compassionate toward those who are losing or have lost their vision. Let us pray that we will grow in gratitude for our eyesight and that this gratitude will lead us to use our vision to serve God and others.
