Faith from the hopscotch!

The hopscotch was there this morning, and I said that soon I would be doing it!

I rested this afternoon and went out to enjoy this beautiful afternoon. Back to the hopscotch I found myself. A little boy came up to me and said

“Those crutches don’t belong to you…” I smiled and said, “They do.”

He excitedly showed me his toy then said, “I can do the hopscotch!” So I said “Let’s see!” Before we knew it, there were more people gathered around. Then one of the kids said to me, “You do it.” I thought, here’s to FAITH….

With my crutches in one hand, I did it! So many times I had told myself, “You cannot” when it was right there for my taking. But, I shifted… “I can with FAITH!” My multiple sclerosis says caution, don’t fall, don’t get hurt, don’t have a flare up… but keeping faith in myself and the miraculous ability to heal with nutrition and exercise has been prolific!

And my Father guides me… as I was at lunch, I was thinking very hard about having chips. I knew the health consequences and set backs I could endure, I also knew that it would be ok if I did eat the chips. I didn’t want to hinder any progress that I had worked really hard for… then, as I went to look for them, they had been put away! That’s FAITH!
