Enough is enough....

Steve just called. The retina in his left eye apparently began to tear over the weekend. His right eye tore a few months ago, and the doctor said that there was 1 in 100 chance that his other eye would follow. Well the 1 in 100 became 100% for Steve. He called the doctor yesterday and was able to get in this morning. The doctor laser treated several spots and recommended that Steve stay home and quiet for a few days. Hopefully, that will do it and it will heal. His right eye wasn't good enough to drive (necessary for Steve's job), and now his left eye is nearly out of commission. This was always one of Mom's greatest fears - going blind. She didn't, and we thank God for that, but I think she would turn over in her grave if she could know about Steve. I called Judy at work and let her know. The propensity for a detatched retina is genetic, and so are Steve's siblings. We will hold him close in our prayers.

By our definition, enough is enough. But this definition of enough is out of our hands. Lord, give us grace, wisdom, vision, strength to overcome all manner of adversity! Help us know how to live.
