The Source of Healing

Today was a good day and I have bounced back after the encounter with the doctor on Thursday. I allow her a little slack as I know she is doing and saying what she was trained to do and say. And as she said she has seen people not make it when they try and go "natural".

I came across something in my reading that was a huge encouragement to me and I wanted to share it with you. It is in the little book, "Ministry of Healing". What a great book!

"The Saviour in His miracles revealed the power that is continually at work in man/woman's behalf, to sustain and to heal. Through the agencies of nature (fruit, vegetables, herbs, etc), God is working, day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment, to keep us alive, to build up and restore us. When any part of the body sustains injury (disease), a healing process is at once begun (immune system working), nature's agencies are set at work to restore soundness. But the power working through these agencies is the power of God. All life-giving power is from Him. When one recovers from disease, it is God who restores him,
Sickness, suffering, and death are work of an antagonistic power. Satan is the destroyer; God is the restorer." pp.112-113 ( ( ) are my additions)

I believe my responsibility is to co-operate with God in the work of my body being restored to health and healing. During my 65 years of life my immune system has restored me to health from measles, mumps, chicken pox, MS, colds, flu and various other things. My Creator God placed that immune system within my body to prevent and to heal from sickness. And I believe He will continue to work through that immune system to bring healing.

Today Greg, Tawnya and kids were here for lunch. Had a great time with them. It is so nice being close to them and seeing the kids so excited to come to Ama and Papa's house!!

Our new puppy is doing well. She is 3 1/2 months old and weighs 42 pounds. We started Obedience Training with her last week! On the way I told her she needed to pay attention as I did not want her to flunk out of "Puppy Kindergarten"!! She did well and learned pretty fast some of the commands we are to teach her. We took her on her first long walk today - 1 mile. She came home and slept quite awhile! The Trainer said that a "tired puppy is a good puppy!" That is true!!

Good Night!
