Carmen,
This morning I’m experiencing a dark floater that darts across my line of vision. In that situation I came upon your chapel talk, which I missed hearing on the day Andrea gave it for you. Your words about the place of sight and trust were just what I needed. Thank you.

I hope your visit with Grace and family is a true blessing and that you felt well enough to enjoy it after your hospital stay.

Sending healing prayers for all the parts of your life.

What a moving and inspiring Lenten reflection! And, it caught me up a bit on your life since knowing you in the Akron- Honduras connection years ago. I must say that I have been impressed with and have enjoyed your son’s cello musical skills at HC. Blessings to you.

Carmen, thank you for publishing this! I am so glad you are in our family. The Lord teaches us lessons. We need to open our eyes to see. I have to think of that hymn that I often sang, but it was just words, “Open my eyes that I might see”. God was using your eyes to open your eyes. Love you, Carmen.

Carmen,

Thank you for sharing this meaningful Lenten reflection. I am inspired by your search for meaning in all that you have experienced and the way you have managed fear of vision loss.

May you be kept safe and healthy!
