New Eyes

"Big Red"

"Ananias...after laying hands on him, said, 'Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.' And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales..." (Acts 9:17-18)



Big Red's taken little Glassco boys on trail rides for nigh upon thirty years. I promised toddlergrand weeks ago that I'd replace the moth-eaten pony's missing peeper. Yesterday, with needle and thread from Mother's sewing drawer, I stitched on two, shiny-new button eyes.

In the book of Acts, scales fell and Brother Saul got new eyes with sight and insight. The murderer of Christ-followers transformed to the preacher who saw Truth - Jesus, the Son of God. 

Jesus said blessed are the eyes that see. Do you have blessed, new eyes, beloved?  Then waste no time. Get to work. Pray. Proclaim the Good News that Jesus, the Son of God, died for sins, was buried, and rose again and watch scales fall like hickory nuts on a windy day.
