My Vision
Nystagmus and MS - "With this condition sufferers experience uncontrolled eye movements resulting in jumping vision. Very often this is accompanied by dizziness. The condition can be very mild, sometimes only occurring when the person looks to the side. It can however be severe enough to impair vision."
(Laurie's note: Blindness or intermittent blindness can also be an MS symptom.)
The definition above is an eye condition that sometimes shows up as an MS symptom. In my experience so far, it is rare, but does show up randomly from time to time. I want to say, "Whatever. This is not my concern." But it honestly concerns me, today especially. It is annoying, but not debilitating. I worry though. What if it gets worse? What if I lose my vision? What if and how would I... and my list spans larger than a panoramic eye view! Over lunch as I shared my concern/fear, my dear friend Ruth tells me, "You can't go there, Laurie." And I tell her I'm already there! But her point is well taken and she directs my attention back to our Lord and His grace sufficient for each moment. He is my Vision in vision or blindness. It's true. Now my vision is blurred from tears in part because I fear and in greater part because I know I have a Vision greater than all I can see!
"Still be my vision, Oh Ruler of all!"

Be Thou My Vision is my hubby's favorite hymn. He wants it sung at his funeral. I told him I'll be too choked up. He'll have to sing it. :)

Yep! "already there" is familiar territory!
The way cool thing about "Be Thou My Vision" and funerals is that at that time, we'll be in His presence and see Him as He is, so we won't have to pray that He'll "be our Vision", we'll SEE HIM face-to-face~! Wow!
Me too!
You did NOT sound trite or glib at all! I needed to hear truth and reassurance! Thank you sincerely!
