I am afraid of losing my eye sight. I use my eyes to do so many things. As an artist, I am always taking in details around me. I love color. God has given this world rich, beautiful colors to enjoy, and I would miss them so much if I lost my eyesight. I think of my backyard after it rains. The rain soaked leaves are so vivid green and the ground so earthy brown that it makes me want to sing. The thought of not being able to see those colors is awful. As a reader, I use my eyes! What if I could not pick up a copy of my favorite book and read through it? If I only saw darkness before me... let's not think about that.
God says to trust in him and not worry, but I find myself in fear. Never seeing the smiles of my family would break me, I am sure. So I will trust in God to direct my footsteps. I will keep praying to not be afraid. Finally, I will treasure every moment I have seeing the world around me!
Loosing your eyesight is a scary contemplation. I think I'd rather loose my hearing. It's hard to imagine life without sight. Once your imagination starts to run on something like this, your fear can overwhelm you. You're also wise to simply enjoy the present and to try not to imagine what might happen.
