was blind...

i picked up on it pretty quickly after we came home from africa.
lincoln couldn't see well. AT ALL.

but to have your vision checked, you have to know some letters or shapes or something!
so, we waited. there was plenty else to deal with.

well, last week i took him in.
and...he has HORRIBLE eyesight! near AND far!  the appointment itself was a bit traumatic (drops in his eye to dilate them, wait 30 minutes, multiple exams, lots of bright lights.)

but...today we picked up his glasses, and his smile was PRICELESS!!!

{this was THE moment she first put them on.}

"was blind, but now i see" started playing in my head immediately.

amazing grace.

God has already used this little boy to teach me what His grace TRULY is so many times.

i am hopeful that these glasses might be something that changes things for lincoln (and for the rest of us!) maybe he will stop touching EVERYTHING in sight, or not have to ask as many questions - because he can see for himself?

i know putting my hope in glasses isn't the right answer (yes, i read my previous post!) but i feel like it has to help at least a little! PLEASE, Lord, let it help a little!

when we walked outside of the store, his head just kept turning from one side to the other. over and over. it was like he couldn't take it all in fast enough! amazing...

{and, yes, we bought the protection plan. the one where you can break them into a million pieces and still get them replaced :-)}
