“Are you called to help others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then God will be given glory in everything through Jesus Christ.”
1 Peter 4:11
• This was not a simple procedure. Our patient was a four-year- old girl with a cyst in her neck that had been there since birth. The surgery involved the girl’s jugular vein, and her carotid arteries were wrapped around and through it. She was scared. We were wondering. Dr. Jim needed a miracle. We gave the little girl a baby doll just before putting her under, and as Dr. Jim started, many were praying. The surgery lasted two hours. When it was over, and the doctors realized it was successful, Dr. Jim said, “It was done with God’s hands and with God’s strength.” The words come back to me often, prompting me to self- examination: Where am I serving today? By whose strength will the work be done? He will be your strength for every helping task.
