Daughter's eye healed
As long as I can remember I have kept a daily journal in which I write down my inspirational thoughts and ideas. Not long ago I was flipping through it and I ran across a healing that my daughter had several years ago. The healing had been so quick and complete that the words in my journal were only a few lines long—with a big star burst drawn in the margin reading, “Healed.”
My young daughter had developed a stye in one of her eyes (a painful bump on one eyelid). Her eye became swollen, and she was sent home from school. I immediately began to pray for her.
Later that day she was scheduled to go over to her dad’s house. Her dad is not a Christian Scientist, so when he came to pick her up, we discussed the situation. Our agreement in raising our children was that any time he became fearful in a situation, he had the right to seek medical attention for the child. In this case he took our daughter to the doctor, and she was sent home with special eye drops—and the prognosis that once a child gets a stye, he or she is prone to get them often.
