Healing That Comes From Children

I wasn't feeling well the last couple days...to be expected time-to-time when you live in another country. :)  However, there are certain things that can really pick you up when you're not 100%.  Often times, that's a child...  These were a few of my highlights this week:

I had a minor ear issue earlier this week, and the kids in my class were consistent about praying for me every morning before class.  "God, please heal Teacher Michelle's ear..."

Then I came down with something else the last couple days and missed two afternoons of school and a birthday party.  Tammy texted me from the birthday party with a message from some kids - "Paula, Juancho,
Angelica, and Jocelyn say they will pray for you."

Within a couple hours, Joel texted me from one of the homes.  I think he'd been there as the kids were going to bed and saying their prayers.  The message read, "Rafael says he misses u :-)"  Rafael is one of our precous 8-year-old boys.

Within a few minutes, Joel texted me again about Rafael - "He prayed God's hand would touch u to make u better :-)"

Today the teachers had meetings at school.  Charryto, one of my students, was up at school for music lessons.  She passed by the room I was in, froze in astonishment, and with a huge smile on her face, announced, "TEACHER MICHELLE!  YOU ARE WELL NOW!"

It's amazing how simple responses from children can make your whole day - and even in some ways, bring healing that medicine can't bring. :)
