Seeing is Believing!

This man next to Macie is Benson! He is an old man who has been blind for many many years! He heard there are white people in the next village who like to pray for the sick! So he walked 30 min to see us!

What's cool is that this week we were reading as a family a book where many miracles took place! When we read about a blind man being healed as the man put dirt on his eyes, I told the kids, " I think God's gonna give us the opportunity to do this just like in the Bible!" Little did I know it would be only a few days later!

The Holy Spirit immediately reminded me of this when I met Benson at the gate and so I ran to get the girls. My eyes filled with tears in anticipation!

Together we prayed for him after putting mud on his eyes! When we cleaned the mud off he immediately turned toward the sun and said "I can see the sun!" He went on to tell us, with a big smile on his face, that he hasn't see shadows let alone bright light in many years, just darkness! He was thanking God over and over! We gave him hugs and told him to come visit again and that we believe God will continue to heal him even as he walks home! We are humbled and thankful for the many visitors that God sends and how it stretches our faith in many ways! We had to share this story with you all!

Thought is like hammering a nail Give away what you want more of ? it really worksFree Will, in my view, is the way we perceive our life as well as the way we portray ourselves We using graphology chooses right employees according to business criteria
