Sugar Fast Day 32

And suddenly we’re at Day 32!

Today we give thanks for all of the healing that has come with this sugar fast. Whether it be physical, emotional, spiritual, or otherwise. Healing on all fronts. Let’s give thanks to the transformation happening in our lives, and let’s continue to pray for any other form of healing you may need, even those hidden things that you may be unaware of.

A few years ago when my beloved Dad became very sick, I prayed and prayed for his healing. My sister and I prayed and prayed and prayed that he would get better. He didn’t. He ended up passing away. But you know what… when I examine it a bit closer, he was healed for a moment. The last week that my sister and I spent with him, this man who had been unbelievably sick, who went from being a strong, burly man to reckon with to becoming a frail, bony man whose xiphoid process protruded painfully out of his chest, suddenly came to life once again. His brilliant mind came back to life, he had power and zest, his love of food abounded once again, and his amazing, witty, sense of humor, (oh how I loved his humor and would do anything to hear him tell a joke again), was awakened once again. In those precious moments he was healed. Our prayers were answered. Just not in the way we expected them to be, but wow how they were answered.

Healing comes in so many forms. We need to keep our eyes and heart open to all the healing that is constantly happening all around us. And we need to be thankful. The moments where we receive healing happen more often than we are able to register. I pray for your healing. I pray you can find it. And I’m so thankful for you.
