Such a beautiful, encouraging article that applies to all of our trials. I loved the idea that we can shake off the burden of believing that things must be all right "right now!" When we accept that recovery and also growth take time, we can feel more peace. I look forward to the day when we will stand as resurrected beings, perfect in health, and spirit. I am so glad that you're recovered!

I am currently homebound with an illness subsequent to a traumatic injury, which doctors haven't been able to explain. I need stories like yours, because I have heard God whisper "Not yet." It helps so much to see the fruits of the hard work and perseverance of others. Thank you. Thank you.

What an inspiring story! And so relevant to so many! I had a similar experience where a surgical incident led to paralysis from the neck down. I was told that I would never walk again. But, through the grace of God and a tough and encouraging wife, I walk again! Thank you for your inspired leadership. We love your magazine!

Thank you for your example and wisdom, Maurine. As you diligently strived for healing even while patiently accepting that the precious healing you wanted so desperately had not happened "yet," you set a great example of trusting in God. And you're right--either we can wallow in the misery of their own imperfections...or we can choose to be patient with ourselves, to trust in the Lord, and--encouraged by those gentle rays of positivity and the Spirit--keep plowing forward with hope.

Thank you Maurine, for your message of hope, for so many of us who are "not yet" where we want to be. And your new-ly freed fingers have obeyed your brain and your sweet spirit to express that message so eloquently! As my mama back in Georgia might say, "Good job 'Honey Child'".
