Did you know that the phrase "apple of my eye" comes from the scriptures? I didn't until I read this topic. There are three scriptures that use this phrase. I guess it means what the familiar usage of the phrase means, that to be the apple of someone's eye means that you are looked at with great favor and specific attention. For an example here is Deuteronomy 32:10:
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
God is paying attention to us. He is blessing us even if we can't see it. Sometimes I lay awake at night and think about how blessed I am, to have my husband and I in good health, to have a nice apartment, and the list goes on and on. I don't have to have all these things. They can be taken away so easily, and the vulnerability I then feel leads me to be grateful for another moment and day of peace and happiness in my life. It really is a gift.
