A Place of Healing



Each of us must experience a thousand 


miracles in our lives every day!  Maybe 


it's because in our heads, we can't find 


mental wrapping paper wide enough to 


neatly package such truths.  It takes 


faith to realize that our almighty God is 


moving miraculously in our life every 


day.



Friend, our inability to comprehend 


something doesn't make it untrue or 


any less miraculous.  Count His miracles 


today.  Count the many narrow misses.  


Count the smiles and words of 


encouragement and expressions of 


gratitude sent your way today. Count 


the safety and well-being of your 


children and grandchildren...it'll be 


healing to your bones.

I've found that an interesting thing 


takes place when you "fix your faith on 


Jesus."  You begin praying and asking 


for the sorts of things that He wants 


accomplished rather than zeroing in 


exclusively on your own private prayer 


list. ~

  1. laughing at "mental wrapping paper". That is some times what it feels like rather than it meshing into One Person named Jesus Christ. :)
