My family has a friend named D. He is a man who my dad mentored. He was at Bathesda Mission for a while. D was in a biking accident a few months ago. He broke open his skull and had some fluid build up in his lungs. He also had kidney problems so he had to have a dialysis machine hooked up to him for about a month. He also hurt his foot. This was a terrible accident and it is amazing he is still alive. He has now moved out of the hospital to a rehab center where he is going to learn how to walk again without a walker. We were able to take him out to dinner a week or two ago and it was very encouraging that he was able to come and move around using his walker. The most amazing thing about D is his attitude toward the whole situation. He told my dad that he knows that God has a reason for not healing him fully yet. He says that God wants him to be able to tell his story to show God's healing power. Whenever he is telling someone the story of what happened, he always ends it with saying that God has healed him, or he wouldn't be here right now, and talks about God's amazing power. I don't think I would have that good of an attitude if that happened to me, but it is encouraging to me that he has such a good attitude toward it.
