Why not You?

Dane and Daelyn have become bug magnets. The other day, after playing in the yard, Dane complained that he thought he was allergic to something and was breaking out. I looked his legs over. Nope. Mosquitoes, not smallpox.

Daelyn was at Grandma's house and she was doctoring all his wounds. She has a special way of rubbing Bactine with a cotton ball into mosquito bites that makes them stop itching immediately. While she was working on him, she noticed a scar on his foot that she mistook for a wart.

Grandma: "Daelyn, when Grandpa gets home, you need to have him pray over you for healing of that wart."

Daelyn: "What's wrong with you? Why do we have to wait for Grandpa? Can't YOU pray for me for healing?"

Grandma called Deanna in from the other room and they prayed over Daelyn. In Grandma's defense, Grandpa has prayed over my niece several times for healing from warts and they have disappeared, so Grandma considers prayers for warts to be one of Grandpa's gifts.

Daelyn had an excellent point, though. Perhaps the Lord would like to give Grandma a gift of wart healing. All of us should be open to whatever gift the Lord might have for us and be willing to pray with anyone at anytime.

From the mouth's of babes.

The "Healing Waters" of the Gulf (Orange Beach) took two warts away that had been on my hands for years. This happened about 5yrs. ago. God said, "when you ask, belive"

What a great story, Bomba. When I was in college, I went to the Holy Land on a tour led by my father. He volunteered to do baptisms in the Jordan River. My Grandmother, who was having serious trouble with her hip and could barely walk, asked to be baptised and, when she came up out of the water, was completely healed.

The Lord is good!
