It's been said that mothers need to have eyes everywhere - forward, behind and all around ...but this is not just about Moms--or maybe it is! As a mom, a woman, and just a person on Planet Earth, I want to keep my spiritual eyes forward--so with our natural eyes firmly in place - everywhere - Moms, Dads, Singles, Grandmas, Grandpas--and whatever title you bear, let's focus our spiritual eyes where they need to be, for...
Look down, look around, look inside, and you can find imperfections, problems and pain--but LOOK ahead and you'll see the Lord! As we focus on what REALLY matters, we begin to see things in the values of eternity....and in that light, does all the STUFF like messy rooms, mad-at-our-husbands moments, mad-at-the-world moods or miscellaneous mayhem really matter?
NO! - It's our relationship and walk with the Lord that really count for eternity. And when we are finally with the Lord, THAT will be the ONLY thing that matters. I choose to keep "eyes forward," and to walk with Him this day for eternity with Him is ahead--how about you!

Draw from the Well--a song and a prayer for renewing strength for this day
Prayer: "Lord, I'm tired of looking down, looking around, looking within, and finding trouble everywhere. Help me to look ahead, to focus my eyes on You, and on the things that really matter. May I keep "eyes forward and eternity ahead" this day, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
