Trifocal Terrors

Trifocal Terrors

“For now we see through a glass, darkly;

but then face to face:

now I know in part;

but then shall I know

even as also I am known.”

(1 Corinthians 13:12, KJV)

Have you tried progressive lenses yet? How about the new trifocal eyeglasses?

Recently, I splurged for these high-tech vision-correcting eyeglasses. Ideally, trifocal eyeglasses are supposed to offer long-distance vision correction, fairly close vision correction (as for computer usage) and up-close vision correction (for reading, writing, sewing and other detail work).

Mostly, my fancy trifocal eyeglasses just give me motion sickness . . . even when I am sitting still.

Know the feeling?

Maybe this circumstance contains a spiritual life lesson? Doesn’t every circumstance, if we will but look?

What a Sight –

A Limericked Glance at Lenses Askance

New spectacles set me a-reel.

The sharpest of scenes may congeal.

Still, I feign a smile,

Though blind for a while,

Concealing the discord I feel.

For vision’s much more than I see,

And insights are often the key.

Lord, call me apart

To see through Your heart.

Could be it’s not all about me.
