Dragonfly Vision Fixed

This past year, my vision deteriorated to the point of needing cataract surgery.  Though I was nervous for the procedure, I loved the crystal-clear vision I gained when my first eye was corrected.  I could suddenly see 20/15 in the distance.  Two weeks later, though, the surgery on my other eye didn’t seem to go so well, and the residual astigmatism in that eye left my vision blurry and me depressed.  After a few months, I was able to have a “light” Lasix procedure in the bad eye in an attempt to fix the astigmatism.  For days afterwards it didn’t seem to help, and my vision stayed blurry.  I was convinced my vision would never be the same.  My ophthalmologist told me to hang in there and continue to hope for the best.  I continued putting drops in my eyes three times a day, praying for a miracle that my vision would eventually clear in the bad eye.  One morning, as I stood up from my morning prayers, I looked out the window at the distant trees.  I thought I was seeing things, but I could swear I could see a dragonfly attached and resting on the tip of a branch about thirty feet away.  The odds of that seemed so unlikely, particularly with my usually blurry vision.  But then another dragonfly went fluttering by the other one at about the same distance away.  For the first time, I realized I could instantly see clearer than I had my whole life, and was found to have 20/15 vision in both eyes.  

LESSON LEARNED:  Healing is on the Lord’s timetable, and patience and gratitude are our necessary prerequisites.
