Our eyes

Pam Weinreis • Oct 22, 2020

The rancher and I took the eye test. I concentrate on the light changes.


My pupils absorb the light inside my eyeball, telling my brain what I see.

The eye searches for bigger, brighter letters.



From what I see becomes my perception of the world.


I am aware my eyes have begun to fail.


Matthew 6: 22-23 (Message) Your eyes are windows into your body.


If you open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light.

If you live squinty-eyed in greed or distrust, your body is a dank cellar.


If you pull the blinds on your windows, what a dark life you will have.


Do you see only the wrong in this world? Or do you look for the good?


What we focus on will form us, what our eye beholds, we live out.

Ephesians 5: 2a, 5b, 8b-9


Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ.


For a greedy person is an idolater, worshipping the things of this world.


So live as people of light.


For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.


May we live wide-eyed, seeking the light of Christ.


Until next time Pam

Nearly one out of three older Americans are lonely, according to a recent study. The study revealed that the biggest shift in loneliness rose among the younger generations. Loneliness is distress caused by a lack of satisfactory relationships, not just being alone.

Life That is Truly Life Is our society consumer based? Did you know that only a century ago 90 percent of Americans were farmers? Life was hard, but simpler too. They mostly lived off the land and traded with neighbors whatever else they needed. Money was rarely used. And most of the things they owned fell into the category of needs, not wants. Today only 2 percent of Americans work agriculture. The last century has radically reshaped the American economy. People moved to cities for jobs, where goods were produced. After the wars, politicians and businessmen worked hard to remake the American economy. It was said their goal was to get the simple farmers children to spend their time and money buying up the latest thing. To grow a generation of consumers.

Have you ever considered "boredom" as good for you? Is boredom good for your kids? Do you remember a time when instant access to the internet, YouTube, tic-toc, and/or snapchat wasn't an immediate go to? How about this, waiting at the railroad tracks, waiting in traffic, sitting in a movie theater before the show with nothing for your mind to do but wander, listen, visit or just be quiet?

It is the month set aside for thanks. I am struggling, and I still get turned around. Is my dwelling on the past or fretting over the future keeping me from the present? Is my anxiousness masked by anger? Do I discount this moment?

Are we a people, "distracted from distractions?"

The warmth of the sunshine does something for our souls. It seems to lift the spirit. Signs of spring are slowly showing up. The Little Missouri River’s running out of its banks. Baby calves scatter the hillsides. Green grass begs to grow. Just days before the Holy Week, our eighth grandchild is born.

Most of the world’s discussion about peace today centers around the absence of wars between nations. We are past the anniversary of the Ukraine war; this world does not seem peaceful. But the Bible focuses on a different kind of peace. A personal peace that is not dependent on what is happening around us.
