Binoculars


...they say hindsight is always 20/20...

how many times do we go into situations knowing that it's not really right and that the end result will be less then desirable?

i know i do it all the time...

i guess sometimes the risk of a bad ending is worth the journey to get there...

and then there are the times we go into situations thinking it will turn out great...missing all the warning signs...and in the end, hopes are crushed...

looking back, the warning signs are like NEON SIGNS...obvious, blatant, HUGE...i think, "how could i have missed that?!"

and sometimes there are no warning signs...you look back and you see nothing....nothing at all....

they say hindsight is 20/20...

but is it always?

most of the time i would agree...but not always...

is foresight ever 20/20? are things ever exactly how we plan them or hope they would turn out?

would i ever really want them to be?

i think a whole lot while i run...this can be both a good thing and a bad thing...a lot of times i'll play one scenario over and over and over again...i look back for the warning signs. sometimes i recognize them...sometimes i don't.

maybe my vision is just blurry sometimes...blurry in the good and blurry in the bad. i guess i just need to adjust the focus on my binoculars....or i just need to adjust my attitude.

or maybe i've been looking for something that was never meant to be seen in the first place...




So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18
