““Your eyes are windows into your body. If you open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light. If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust, your body is a musty cellar. If you pull the blinds on your windows, what a dark life you will have!”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭MSG‬‬

This picture of my dog Abby was taken Monday evening. I chuckle every time I look at it. She had followed me around all evening and was ready for me to sit down so she could lay on my lap. As you can see, she was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open. Since the picture was taken I have been pondering how sometimes we also walk around with our eyes squinted in life. Therefore let’s call today Wide Open Eyes Wednesday.

Do you sometimes find yourself rushing through life, from one task to the other, not really paying attention to all that’s around you? Are you in tune to the wonder and beauty of each moment? Are your eyes squinted as you focus on accomplishment each item in your to do list?

Today be intentional to keep your eyes wide open. As you approach each task, look around at the “wonder and belief” around you. Take deep breath’s throughout the day and soak in the light of life all around. Don’t “pull the blinds on your windows.” Instead, keep your eyes wide open and allow your body to be filled up with His light!
