New contacts day is nice, but it’s nothing compared to new glasses day. I love getting new glasses! Perhaps it’s my astigmatism or maybe a figment of my imagination, but I can see better with glasses than with contacts. When I get a new pair, it’s like the world becomes bigger, brighter and better. Details I previously overlooked scream for my attention. Colors I considered drab are now so vivid they refused to be ignored. Is it possible to hear through your eyes? If so, the static clears. I can see. It’s like life in HD.

Is there a way to get new glasses for your heart? Or relationships? What about life in general? I would love to apply this type of revelation to all aspects of existence. What if I could just buy a hat or something that enabled me to understand people’s motives or to recognize why they behave the way they do? Simple headgear that would prevent me from making wrong assumptions and acting on wrong conclusions. Some goggles that would highlight the perfect path for my life, show me exactly what God wants me doing in this moment and time. Where can I buy those?

“Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.”
- 1 Corinthians 13:12 (NIV)

Oh, I look forward to that day!
