Knee Injury Healed

I got a call for help from my twelve year old daughter and I could tell in her voice that she was hurt. When I got to her, she was on the ground crying next to a tree with several of her friends standing around wondering what to do. An adult who also came said “you need to take your daughter to the emergency room”. She had fallen out of the tree and apparently twisted her leg on a branch on the way down. She said that she heard a sound like crushing eggshells come from her knee and that it hurt too much to stand up or walk on it.

I propped her up on my shoulder and she hopped on one leg to our home, all the while she was crying how much it hurt. I put a bag of ice on her knee, since it looked like it was swelling up, said a quick prayer for her knee, and went back to the freezer for more ice thinking about the logistics of getting her to the emergency room.

While at the freezer, she came running past the kitchen to the back door saying that her friends were still waiting for her at the tree and that she needed to get back to them. This caught me by surprise since a few seconds ago I was wondering about the quickest way to get her to the emergency room and now she wanted to run back to the same tree that she just fell out of. Miracles can be confusing! I reminded her that she needed to thank Jesus for healing her so quickly, we thanked Him, and out she ran

Thank you Jesus!

Bone Cancer Gone

One of our church members, Mary H., has been praying for her friend Sarah. In September 2009, Sarah was diagnosed with bone cancer. After prayers over the phone, Sarah had another scan done which showed no cancer! The doctors did a second scan to be sure! Praise God!
