There was good news at my eye appointment today. The eye surgeon said everything looks fine in my eyes now. The laser surgery improved my angle and he doesn't see any risk of glaucoma. What a relief it was to hear that!
I was under the impression I had glaucoma when they did the surgery a couple of weeks ago, but evidently I was just at great risk for it with that narrow angle for drainage, because of my farsightedness.
It's amazing how your knowledge increases every time you see a doctor like this. In spite of my effort to research glaucoma on my own, only the doctor could give me specific information about my eyes. Even though he attempted to explain the procedures, I still had to ask questions to make my education complete.
And that's how we get our knowledge of spiritual things too. We have to go to the right persons, at the right places, at the right times, and ask the right questions. Deuteronomy 4:29 says "But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul." And it's a life-long pursuit.

Special Son-in-law's Birthday
This evening we celebrated my son-in-law's birthday. I have truly come to feel like a mother to him. For a year, he escorted me faithfully on many trips to care for my parents, who had cancer and finally both passed away just a few months apart. With no car radio and an hour's drive each way, we had many chats about some serious topics, including life and death.
That's one good thing about adversity. It brings people together in ways that may never happen without it. I'm sure that the closeness we developed on those car rides will give us a special bond that will last throughout the years.
When hard times come, it should draw us closer to God as well. He is waiting for some chat time with us even now though. The closer you are to Him in the good times, the more you will benefit from His presence when you really need Him. Don't wait another day to get to know this wonderful family member, our Heavenly Father God.
