Have we overlooked the treasure in older people in rest homes? Once when I visited my mother in an assisted living center, I met an eighty something year old missionary to the Indians. She showed us photos of her life story and a newspaper article about her mother who was blind for sixteen years and suddenly could see. This sister shared how one day she hugged her mother and said, "Lord, I want momma to see." Suddenly her
mother received her sight back.
She went on to tell other stories of how she had the gift of healing for many people. I said to her, "Would you pray for me? I have a bone spur that still gives me pain." Before she prayed, she said, "You will feel heat in my right hand as I touch your neck. And you will be fine in the morning." That night I slept without pain and it has never come back. While I was among these older people the Lord said to me, "I am giving you the wisdom of the ancient. Thanks
for visiting Me."
"With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding." Job 12:12 (KJV)
