New Prescription

I have never worn glasses or had contact lenses. I am sure I will eventually need them because our eyes tend to lose strength over time like the rest of us. I am still blessed with great vision, but one of my daughters recently began saying that it was getting harder and harder to see. We attributed it to lack of sleep or too much time on the computer, but finally took her to the doctor who thoroughly tested her and got her a prescription for glasses. She was stunned by what she could now see. All it took was a small piece of glass to change her perception of what is around her. Actually, it took her dad changing his willingness to take her to be tested. I actually made the statement, "Why is it that everyone who goes to the eye doctor leaves needing glasses? They must just tell people that so they can sell glasses." Once I gave in and put down the money, I was able to realize that she really needed glasses. My attitude and stubbornness was getting in the way of my daughter's ability to see.

I see and hear a lot of people give reasons why they do not attend church. They seem to have it "all figured out" and understand that churches are just another group of people who want to take advantage of them for monetary gain. They have some music, have an inspirational speaker who tries to make you feel good, and then they ask you for money. They cannot understand how so many people are so gullable. I wonder how long they have seen the church this way?

Did they even have a parent who made cynical statements like I had done about the eye doctor?

I pray that they would have the experience of sitting down for a thorough examination of the church, close up. I think they would be amazed at the change in their vision.
