Did you ever notice how much detail God puts into things? From exotic flower petals, to unique leaf colors, to each crystal snowflake, to downright weird looking sea creatures, to each distinct human being, His artistry is evident. Yet, in our busy lives, do we always notice those small, insignificant things? We often grumble about having to rake or shovel those "miracles." (ESPECIALLY if you are still getting snow end of March! What's up with that?)
I was reminded this morning of how special those little things can be! I was washing my face and noticed a small line of fringe on my eyelids. I THOUGHT I had seen something a few days back but this was unmistakable! I was SO excited....my eyelashes are returning! The men in my house probably don't understand my giddiness but my sister (who is here helping out for a few days) and my daughter shared my delight. It's just a small thing but it means so much to me! On a day when my arm is very weak and still in a decent amount of pain, a large incision constantly reminding me of surgery and dealing with a stupid drain, to have something return back to normal was huge for me! And, I won't lie when I say the vain part of me rejoices that I won't have "Betty Boopy" eyelashes anymore! So, just thought I'd share my excitement with my blog readers!
Recovery is going well.....every day is a little better. I've been able to catch some good "winks" of sleep but as a friend warned me, I probably won't get quality rest until the drain is out which could be another week. Grr! But, I'm in wonderful hands between my hubby and it's been great having my sister here! We hope to have biopsy results back on Monday.
So, as I dig out my mascara in anticipation, I hope you have an "eyelash" blessing day where you are able to celebrate something small and seemingly insignificant, but is important to you!
In His Strength,
Cindy and the VK's
