Witness in illness

It was a small grace, but nevertheless a grace......a couple of days ago, my husband had to have a small surgery on his forearm to refashion a shunt. It was done under local anaesthesia and at some point he must have mumbled "Praise the Lord". The surgeon commented that "Your God has looked after you well all these years - the previous shunt has lasted a long time" (almost ten years). Sometimes, it takes other people to remind us of God's providence, that comes in ways that we may not easily acknowledge.......prayers are 'answered' not so much with complete 'cures' but with small daily providences....that with the passage of time we can look back on.
