Chris.
I am so grateful to God for my eyes, I think we should all be too. As a child 54 or 55 years ago, I had surgery on my eyes which meant, in those days, a long time in hospital. I thank God for the success of that surgery which has given me a life time of seeing. Now, my eyes are becoming weaker and my eyeglasses are becoming stronger but I can still thank God for my eyes.
