I was Too BLIND to See...
We lost our 3rd child, in my wife's womb in 2004. We were devastated.
Yes, we already had two wonderful children before that, but we always wanted three.
And so we prayed, and asked God if it was His Will to give us another child...

Thankfully... the answer was YES!
And after 3 years later, our 3rd was born whilst we were living in Melbourne, Australia.
We named him Izrael, as he was the fulfilment of our prayer🙏 and a promise from God.
Izzie (as we love calling him) was a super HAPPY Baby!
He had a special way to make us all smile and laugh at his very unique antics ~ the "Jester" of the family. 😂 😂 😂
Izzie "Woof-Woof" Doggy Face Paint with Siblings!
Izzie acting as One of the Little Ducklings😂
All was going so good for us that my wife and I did not notice something about Izzie...
We did not realize that Izzie had a severe EYE Condition

Look again here in this picture...
Izzie with both eyes looking "right"
When we found out that Izzie had a condition called "Severe Long sightedness", our hearts broke. We blamed ourselves for not noticing... not paying enough attention, as Izzie was always this bubbly and worry-free child, full of energy and life.
We didn't know that his eye power was almost 1000 on both eyes!!
Which meant that he was seeing the WORLD in an extreme blur state for 4 years of his life!!
He never bumped into poles... and never once complained that he could not see our faces clearly.😢😢
Izzie just accepted his fate as the way it was, perhaps he thought "every other child" saw the world as he saw it...
I cried so much😭😭 (tears of joy and tears of regret) the day Izzie put on his first spectacles...
And he said "Daddy... it is so BRIGHT!!"
Izzie with his Patch On, Doggy too... to counter his Lazy Eye as well!
Today, Izzie is still the same boy... the same amount of Energy, Humour, Wit and Smiles.
He is so EASY (just like his name Izzie), that I know he often tells me...
"Dad, don't worry, I'm improving...God will touch my eyes."
Thank you Izzie-boy, for teaching me that the trials of life must be taken lightly...
Even if we cannot clearly SEE... we must never lose our VISION of our bright future!
I hope this story blesses you!

p/s - I was Blind, but NOW I see...
We may all be blessed with the power of sight, but do we really see the world as what it was, what it is or what it will be?
Thanks @maverickfoo... definitely mate as everyone's perspective and filters are so different. Cheers mate!
Such an awesome reassurance from God Almighty!
Izzie-boy is a walking talking Bible, a daily reminder,
"For we walk by faith, not by sight." -- 2 Corinthians 5:7
Amen.
@patlu thanks so much for your comment.
Yes God is in control over everything... Faith can move mountains. Blessings to you!

Izzie in fact is such an easy boy, having the heart to be grateful and able to ease people's burden too. What a great boy he is. You are blessed to have him as much as he is blessed to have you all. Nah, it was not your fault for not noticing it, I was impressed he never fell down. it must had been God's protection all over him. Now and forever you will see...His goodness and His favor and His grace overflowing in your life and Izzie's life.
Your story blesses my heart. 😊
Thank you so much @iamjadeline!
Blessings back to you... 😊😊
Stunning story written. Short yet powerful! May he receive good sight and see the world as the naked truth. May his sights also deliver people around him with blindness to see truth and love. Bless you and your family.
Thanks so much @jazz-accountant. I'm praying for that miracle. Blessings!

Glad that your son did not allow his eye condition to stop him from living a fulfilling and meaningful life. No matter what happens, rest assured that his life is always in the palm of God's hands.
Thanks Karin! Yes he is. Blessings to you.
Thanks for sharing bro. Congrats on getting the 3rd child. With faith, miracles do happen
Thank you @danieldoughty! Amen to that miracle. Blessings
