I have an aunt, rip, and when I first met her I though she was the nicest adult I had ever met. I was about seven and she was about 20. As I grew older I came to understand she was what we then called mentally retarded. Retarded, if you look up the etymology, is not a detrimental term. Anyway, she is no longer with us, but she was always the nicest adult I ever know with the mental advancement of a four-year-old, and I am blessed to have shared part of her time here in this age. Our heavenly Fadther always does what is good, so trust Him, not the reasoning of the flesh.
I have witnessed healings, and on occcasion I have been used for this as an instrument availed to God's Holy Spirit, so I know healing is still with us, albeit it is not common everywhere, but with the faith ful it is.
Now I am old with certain normal or ordinary conditions the come with age. I praise God and thank Him for everything. It is so good and rewarding to thank Him even or especially when we do not understand because eventually we see good come from everything. Too bad we do not have the total wisdom of our Father, for then we we see the goodness every instan. We are feeble in that regard. God bless all in Jesus Christ, amen.
I have a question about people born with physical ailments or diseases. I still have difficulty understanding about siamese twins, down syndrome, cancer, etc. Is it because we are born into a fallen world and genetic disorders are bound to happen rather than the results of sins from the parents?
