Sunny skies

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." NIV John 14:27

I hear a voice upon the ground
A calling me. Come! Come! Look down!
Look in my pit drop lower, sit
O hear my sound! Look down! Look down!

I hear a voice high from the sky
A calling me. Come! Come! Look high!
Look to my peace and feel release
O come and sup! Look up! Look up!

For we must choose our destiny
Imagination is our key
For in the long run we will be
What we imagine, bound or free.

So when you ask me to be blue
I'm blind and deaf, though I love you
For I have chosen to be true
Looking upward; not follow you.

I invite you to be like me
In sweet sunshine, so heavenly
Come choose pure love, and fly above
Soaring upward into God's Love.

Flying up into sunny skies.

Sunny skies.

Hi Maureen,

Yes! I am back, roaring as a lion! I had my lens replaced in both eyes. It is wonderful!

Here I am two days after the procedure and it is easier for me to work on my computer than ever before. And the doctor did not even have to wait for my growing cataracts to ripen. As I was having trouble with night driving they gave me the option and I TOOK IT! And I'm delighted that I did!

And there is no invasion. Even anastasia is with eye drops. No cutting!

What my doctor, Dr. Gills did (he is the founder of St. Luke's Cataract & Laser Institute.) In less than 10 minutes, he used sound waves to blast away the old lens, and then quickly inserts a new computer generated lens into each eye. He did one eye the first day, and the second eye the very next day. And I was able to actually use each eye immediately! No bandages, only sun glass protection.

To promote healing they recommended that for 24 hours I keep my eyes closed except when walking or doing something important. I cheated a lot as I wanted to look at many things. (Many pretty women there!) LOL...

They gave me sun glasses, 100 per cent ultra violet light protective to wear outdoors. And I use eye drops, as prescribed.

And, Maureen, Dr. Gills and all of his staff are all Christians. And they even pray with you before surgery. Christian music plays throughout the place. It is a huge place with hundreds of people there awaiting examinations and surgery.

And you can call and ask for the main man, Dr. James P. Gills, world famous, who has done more of these procedures than anyone in the world, many thousands, Christian author of some ten books, medical author of many scientific books, world known and respected. THE VERY BEST EYE DOCTOR IN THE WORLD, in my opinion.

Mine cost about 2300 per eye.

All of mine was covered by medicare and my Blue Cross. And it is done in a very beautiful little Florida town near Tampa Florida, Tarpoon Srings.

If you know anyone that needs improved vision, just have them call, St. Luke's 727-938-2020 and they will send you a kit explaining everything. And do it! It's wonderful!

People fly in from all over the world. This is THE PLACE!!!

Wheeeeeeeeee!

((Maureen))

Give me wings and the sun on my face and I will live happily...
How quickly we forget of simple pleasures, and our own truth. I like this a lot.

Newell darling boy this is awesome, I mean it, this is an incredible piece of writing, utterly utterly amazing writing it’s so full of beauty and is utterly divine.

Your heart and soul is heard in this diamond Your words painted this beautiful picture darling boy, I’ve always been partial to songs of hope, I think anything else is refusing the gift HE gave us. You know I love this poem, purely perfect poetry

  
Love and warm stuff
As always

O, ..., ThisDiamond, I hear a beautiful bird trilling, ..., are you calling me?

"Give me wings and the sun on my face and I will live happily...

How quickly we forget of simple pleasures, and our own truth"

May I respond with a little poem?

=======================================
Glowing starlight with you - For ThisDiamond

"The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another;
and star differs from star in splendor." NIV 1 Corinthians 15:41

With wings of an angel I see her there
I never knew my eyes could so adore
Beautifully flowing, with glowing hair
Such richness in God's rainbow over shore.

Now I hear her calling me, come and see
The lustre of heavenly, fires of light
Radiant Glory, far off galaxies
I take her hand, together we pass night.

The glowing sun is shining rainbow rays
As we soar all around the Throne so bright
Making ev'ry rotation a bright day
Looking out in peace at an awesome night.

Give me wings; let the sun shine on my face
I will live happily, forever, sigh
As we sail eternity in God's grace
Hold my hand, darling, as we rise up high.

Farther and farther out of all man's sight
Forever and ever glowing starlight.

Glowing, glowing, glowing starlight with you.
