About a month ago, I misplaced my glasses. I don't wear them all the time, so it isn't uncommom for me to spend some time looking for them. I take them off when I come into the house after driving. I lay them down by my chair after reading something sometimes. And the list goes on....

 

But this time I couldn't find them. I looked everywhere. No glasses. I decided if I hadn't found them in a week, I would go to the eye doctor's office and get a new pair. While that didn't thrill me, I didn't feel too bad. The glasses were probably 5 or 6 years old. It could have been worse.

 

In a week, still no glasses. So ordered a new pair. Got them last week. When I left the doctor's office, I told him to send me a bill. I don't have the bill yet, but I am sure they aren't cheap. I'm not as casual about these glasses. I am paying pretty close attention to where they are and where I take them off. I don't want to buy another pair in the near future. They're pretty valuable.

 

My glasses are laying in front of me on our computer desk as I type this note. And I am thinking, is that how God is with us? We are pretty valuable to Him. He paid a pretty high price for each one of us.

Valuable things like we are, He doesn't want to get lost or laid aside. He can't take a chance on anything happening to us, both today and in our future.

 

Thank you, God, for all of your love, care, and attention!
