THE CONTACT LENS!!

Yesterday I mentioned I would tell you a story about when we were at Winona Lake camping. The girls were probably Jr. High and High School. This particular year we went up there one week and then back again 6 weeks later.

I could always tell when the girls lost one of their contact lens, by the sound of panic in their voices. Everyone stood still until the contact lens was located. We would shine a light around and most of the time we found it and was lucky not to step right on it. This particular time our younger daughter was in our first pop up camper and sounded the alarm. We looked and looked in the sleeping bag and all around, but no luck.

We had 4 compartments in our camper with each having their own compartment. When the trip was over, all the clothes and things from the compartments came back in the house to be washed or put away.

Six weeks later, we packed to go back up to the same campground. The compartments was loaded up as usual and off we went.

There was a building that was designed to dress in fairly close to our campsite. This made it easier when 4 was trying to get dressed in the camper.

Our younger daughter came back from getting dressed and said, "You can't guess what I found!"
Yes it was the contact lens that she lost 6 weeks prior. It got in her clothes and she felt something scratching her and looked and lo and behold the lost was found!

This contact had to travel from the camper into our home, back out to the camper and from the camper to the building where she was getting dressed.

I don't know whether she was able to use it, since they usually stay stored in contact solution when not in use.

Thought--Have you ever thought how the tiniest things stays forever in our mind? Whoa, God created human beings to have such a capacity!!! It's like a computer up there in our memory bank. And we thought man created the computer!!!
