A quick healing of my eye

Lizzie

I was giving my cat, Charlie, one of my killer hugs—which Charlie normally loves! Then my iPad fell off the counter and scared Charlie, who got up very quickly and leaped over the back of the chair. As he did, he accidentally scratched my eye. I was really scared and called for my parents.

I knew I had to forgive Charlie, because in other situations I’ve demonstrated that forgiving is the first step in healing, since forgiveness helps me feel close to God. So that’s what I did. I knew Charlie never meant to hurt me.

My parents and I prayed for me, knowing that there can be no accidents in God’s kingdom, because God is all good, all power, and God knows no bad. So I must always be safe.
