This morning we took our youngest son in to see the eye doctor. Wayne's left eye has been turned in a bit since birth. He said they would need to go in and shorten one or two of the mucsles to make it line up right. Eye surgery.
As I was getting Wayne buckled in the van to go home Japheth (who had to make a business trip out of town) leaned over, kissed me and said, "Now don't fret about this on the way home." He knows me very well!
At FOCIS one of the ladies shared a bit of wise thinking about our "cup of blessings". I hold a cup in my hand and God pours blessings down into it. Some of them we consider "good" and some we think are "bad" or not blessinga at all. But if I reject them and pour them out, I hold an empty cup in my hand. If I accept them as blessings from the Lord and know that all things work together for good, MY CUP OVERFLOWS!
So on the way home I sang.
Then this song came to mind and I sang . . . "He paid a debt He did not owe. I owed a debt I could not pay. I needed Someone to wash my sins away . . ." and then the tears started streaming down my face.
I guess though I was trying to accept this from the Lord, still in the back of my head I was fretting over the cost and how we were going to get it paid.
But I remembered . . . God was faithful through my two cancer surgerys, through the costly procedure to remove the two pennines stuck in Jeremiahs throat. God is faithful still!!!
And though we may have debts to pay, Jesus paid the debt for our souls and ohhhhhh the feeling to know that your DEBTS ARE PAID!!!!!!!!!! Especially the debt that we cannot pay!! Thank-you, Jesus!!!!!!!!!

I think we have a few things in common, our children are 4, 3, and 20 mo. Our 3 year old has always had an eye that turns out when she gets tired, we took her to a regular eye doctor and were told that surgery would be the answer. I felt like there should be more options, I did some in depth searching on the internet and found a specialist. Grace has been following there plan of home therepy for 6 months and is making amazing progress! I don't know if this would work for you son or not, but I know I was very interested in options other than surgery if available. Hope this helps, Blessings to you.
