Healed

About a month ago my mom started having this pain in her derriere. Found out it was bursitus, which is like inflamation of muscles or tendons or something. So, seriously painful thing. It just kept getting worse and more frequent. The thing was that it was fine when she was lying down, but sitting and standing were difficult. So it was seriously interfering with her life.

Every once and awhile I get reminded of the stories I've heard where people have been healed of little things, like headaches, and then big things like cancer and multiple sclerosis. It brings this little bit of faith out in me, not that God is

powerful enough to heal (because I know he is), but that he will, despite the fact that we don't deserve it and don't have much faith. So one evening, I went, put my hand on my mom's tush and prayed. She also informed the prayer ladies at church and they have been praying too. Since then she's been 2 weeks without pain. The stupid thing is when she told me, I automatically thought it must be the excercise that I'd been pushing her to do (forgetting the fact that she started that even before the bursitus got worse, and had to stop because it aggravated it). Why can I not remember to praise Him, where praise is due. Honestly. So that's a little part of my lent thing is to give credit where it is due. Which is why I am posting this post.
