Sore Throat Healed

David -

I am so grateful for your prayers last week when I was feeling like I was "coming down with something". I was struck first by your compassion and love on the phone which immediately made me feel at ease. You calmly stated the truth about me as a child and reflection of God and uncovered the error in my thinking. You pointed out that disease can be thought of as a lack of ease. This made me realize that it wasn't the physcial symptoms I needed to combat or allieviate, but the lack of ease in my thought. This thought was an immediate relief for me. You went further to reason that disease or dis-ease could not exist if God is all and all powerful. You helped me see that there is no friction in God's kingdom. You helped me see that the only thing I could truly come down with was good because that is all there is. These thoughts lifted my spirits and helped me sleep soundly through the night. The next morning, however, as I prepared to get up to teach summer school I realized that I was having difficulty talking and that I was experiencing difficulty with my throat. Being early in the morning, I went to email you and found an encouraging email from you already in my mailbox, left after we talked the night before. This gave me the inspiration to go to work. About half way through my first summer school class, I started to feel a wonderful joy and love for the students and the class. This hadn't always been the case as this summer job had been much more strenuous and stressful than I had anticipated. I really felt grateful for working with them and witnessing their unique expressions. It was at that moment that I realized my throat no longer hurt and that I could speak easily. After my two other classes ended, I checked my email to find that you had emailed me back at the exact time that I felt Love's presence in the classroom. Your words talked of the throat as the instrument to praising God. It was wonderful to realize that although I had not read the email at the time it was sent, its angel message was communicated to me as I was rejoicing and expressing gratitude towards my class and God. What a neat experience. Thank you for your caring and loving support.
