I See ( My New Glasses )
The world for once has a new look! I have worn glasses for many years. Glasses seemed to annoy me more than anything else so I would put them on and take them off constantly. Last week, I picked up my new pair, rather I called my husband and he ran my errand to the eyeglass store. He came in with a smile and sat down across from me. I took my glasses and tried them on for size.
Tears came to my eyes. I could clearly see the clock on the wall and the words on the TV screen without straining. I looked at my husband and saw him for the first time. The first time without squinting, I saw the lines of age, the eyes of love, I saw the gentle smile on his face as he sat there soaking in my reaction. He followed me through to the kitchen as I opened the blinds over the kitchen sink and looked out into the back yard. I turned to the dining room wall where I had hung my angel pictures. Shiny gold and pink colors came to life before my eyes, the baby angel smiled back at me as if to say something to my soul that only the two of us could comprehend.
Phil, my husband followed me from room to room as I fought back tears and looked across each room seeing the pictures on the walls, the stacks of books in the corner. I saw faces and words from a distance. As I sat in my chair and he placed himself across from me, I gave him the once over again. His eyes were as shiny as the bluest crystal marble I had ever saved as a child. His smile was pure heaven. I did not cry openly that moment, but inside as I gazed at this wonderful new world and man, I cried rivers inside, then laughed and yelled glorious noises in my heart.
I was not blind, I could see from the beginning. Not the way I saw everything now, but with a slight distortion and blur. Now, each thing I turned my eyes upon seemed new and fresh. Even the cobwebs in the corner I had obviously overlooked for quite sometime were beautiful. After Phil had gone back to work for the day, I climbed the stairs to check myself out in the bathroom mirror.
Wrinkles and gray hairs smiled immediately back at me. Hazel-green eyes with tiredness began to glimmer. I was saddened by the trueness of what I saw reflecting back at me. As I hang my head and started to walk away, I remembered the angels face looking back at me from the wall, I remembered the love form my husbands face and I raised my head to look at myself once more. The wrinkles were still there, but this time I saw wrinkles as marks of all the trials I had faced in my life. Wrinkles that outlined my lips and eyes forever branded me with a smile and trueness to my life's battles and accomplishments.
The gray hairs peeked out at me saying, "We are your glory". I smiled, and then cried. I turned and walked slowly down the stairs watching my feet take each step and my hands glide across the top of the banner taking in the memories of my past with each movement forward. I waited my entire life to see the world as it truly was. I waited a year to look into those loving eyes of my husband. I had waited forty-two years to see myself. Memories flooded my mind and I knew as I reached the bottom of the staircase; I had seen my entire world and self through a blurred vision. From this point in my life on, I will see clearly.
It is amazing how something as ordinary as a new pair of glasses on a forty-two year old woman, not only helped her to see the material world around her, but helped her to see the many blessings that only she can now see inside herself. I would like to say thank you, Phil, for helping me to see the awesome beauty in your face and heart, and for allowing me to see the angels again, and the me I honestly forgot was there. I love you.
