eye

9/1/09 My breath prayer is from Proverbs 22:9, "those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor." My old Bible had a translation of "those with an eye of generosity." I am very aware of my eyes today, because I have conjunctivitus, commonly called "pink eye." My condition is really not much of a bother, but it makes me more aware of those who are really vulnerable like the poor--those literally in poverty, but also poor in spirit, in poor health, etc. What is the blessing? I found that as I concentrated on the needs of others, my problems, issues, anxieties, etc. seem so small.

Love,
Lynn
