Healing in God's Own Time
Some of you remember when our Grandson Andrew had a bad pool accident last June. Had a badly bruised nerve that kept his right eye from looking to the right or tracking in sync with his left eye. So he had double vision. No baseball or basketball. Difficult to read or watch television.
So lots of you prayed for Andrew's healing. Family, friends, and people that did not even know him have prayed. The Drs. thought time would resolve the issue, but we asked God for the immediate healing.
Andrew was amazing in his faith. I know it had to bother him, worry him, and frustrate him. But he stayed true to who he was the whole time. Happy, loving God, being kind. Trusting God. Believing in the healing.
Thru the summer he made slow progress. Got better in small increments. Started school still seeing double.
And then a couple of weeks ago he looked sideways to the right. WITH BOTH EYES.
While he is not completely healed yet, it is remarkably better. The Drs. are confident that it will heal completely.
We knew it would. We just did not know the timetable. God heard our prayers and He answered them. In his time.
I don't know why God chose this time to give the healing. But He is God and I am not. He knows why and what is best.
Andrew will always remember the summer of double vision. And he will always remember the healing. So will we.
God has seen our family through a lot over the past few years. Sometimes our prayers have been answered quickly and exactly how we asked. Sometimes it was longer than we wanted. And sometimes the answer was not what we wanted.
It's OK. He is God. And he has proven himself faithful to our family over and over. So we praise Him. Just like we did when Andrew's eyes were not coming together. He is the God of our family no matter what. And we trust Him. And we thank Him for this.
So thanks God for what you are doing with Andrew's eyes. We are amazed and thankful for your goodness. We will continue to give you glory and to tell our world of your greatness.
