Its been an interesting week. I got sick early in the week, a cold that ran through the family over the weekend, then got me on Monday. It knocked me down most of the week.
While I was home sick, one of my girls got a flat tire. While trying to change it at home, I was cranking up the car jack when the lug wrench popped off and swung up and hit me right below the eye. It hurt like crazy, then bled like crazy. Now, several days later, its really blackened up nice. Plus, where it hit me will most certainly leave a nice scar.
So here I sit, finally over my killer cold, and the pain leaving my face, but my eye seems to be getting darker daily. It might take another week before the color is back to normal, but hey, its been a conversation starter everwhere I go, for sure.
God's good, another 1/3 inch higher and I could have lost my eye.
I've spent a lot of time reading while sick and hurt this week, trying to focus again on knowing and growing in Christ. So I guess its been time well spent. And I have a mark to show for it.
